For over 25 years, Pioneer Research has been developing the SeaLife Camera brand, producing top-quality underwater cameras custom-tailored for recreational scuba divers and water sports enthusiasts. From top-of-the-line underwater digital photography rigs to simple point-and-shoot cameras and housing, SeaLife has an incredible lineup that will suit every type of photographer. SeaLife is launching its latest camera this March: the compact digital SeaLife SL330 Mini II Underwater Camera.
Sealife SL330 Mini II Digital Underwater Camera
The Sealife SL330 Mini II Digital Underwater Camera is a rugged and incredibly compact, pocket-sized point-and-shoot underwater camera. This camera handles watersports like jet skiing, surfing, or any other high-impact activity where bumps and rough handling are common.
At first glance, the SL330 Mini II stands out for its compact size — especially for an underwater camera. This is a sharp contrast to the bulky camera-and-housing setups you usually see. Another eye-catching feature is its sleek, fully rubber-armored body. This design gives a solid impression of the ruggedness the manufacturer promises.
Since you don’t want to be left fumbling around with your camera settings when snorkeling or Scuba Diving, the simple and well-laid buttons on the SL330 Mini II give you just that. Extensive, wide-spread controls for easy operation and no complicated menus. The Easy Setup on-screen guide ensures the camera is set correctly for great pictures on land or underwater. With SeaLife’s renowned custom underwater shooting modes, you’ll have no more blue images by using the Dive and Snorkel modes now with an underwater color booster.
Features
The SL330 uses a 9.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, allowing for images of 3472×2604 in resolution. It also has an instant-focus lens that focuses from 2ft to infinity. The LCD display on the camera is a large 2.4″ TFT Color LCD! It’s good for reviewing your pictures easily and composing those tricky shots underwater. The SL330 is also compatible with external strobes. So, it can be easily paired with the SeaLife Digital Pro Flash for even better results.
Overall the Sealife SL330 Mini II is a rugged, fully featured underwater digital camera that wins hands down on price to quality and features. This camera is made for SCUBA divers, snorkelers, boaters, hikers, paddlers and any fun-seeking adventurer looking to capture that moment without the worry.
