Sealife Moisture Muncher
Rating: Good Product 2/25/2009

Only needed 2 of these for 17 dives and about 300+ pictures. Not sure if I even needed to use the second one as the camera never fogged up.

Sealife Moisture Muncher
Rating: Great Camera for Beginner like me! 2/25/2009

In 17 dives I took well over 300 pictures in Roatan Honduras.The camera had a learning curve for using underwater, IE. 2 to 3 feet from the underwater critter you were taking a photo of for best picture, also a bit of trial and error on which direction to face the flash so the fish or coral would not look washed out or too bright. Underwater movie mode was better than expected, I wish there was a way to fix the color on the movies though. Above water photos and movies were great too. It never leaked at all after 17 dives and removing the camera about 10 times to get the pictures over to my PC was a breeze. I used only 2 moister munchers the whole trip and the camera never fogged up at all. Also underwater the camera seems to be a bit buoyant though I never let go of it to see if it would float. My only real dislike is the carrying case, when you try to put the camera and the flash in there together they do not fit very well and I lost 8 brand new batteries by the flash being accidentally turned on and draining them. By turning off the flash and making sure it stayed off, I only used 8 batteries for the entire week. Of course 1 week after the purchase of this camera, Sea Life comes out with the DC1000!
