![]() I was intrigued and wondered how the fairly basic SeaLife hardware could do so well when we struggled with cameras that, at least based on their spec sheets, should have produced superior results. We came up with decent underwater shots, but they were nowhere near as good as those that my dive buddy took with her SeaLife DC500 camera. That quickly changed a couple of years ago when we tested some very competent underwater cameras from major manufacturers. I must admit that before my diving days, I had never heard of SeaLife myself. Today, SeaLife prides itself in offering a whole array of underwater cameras and accessories, with all the flashes and lenses interchangeable with any SeaLife camera. SeaLife cameras have been around for about 15 years, and the company introduced the first underwater digital camera in 2000. Being into optics and outdoors equipment, the company is dedicated to the outdoor and sports experience. Who is SeaLife? The name is popular in the scuba diving community but the company is not so well known among regular photographers, so here's the scoop: SeaLife is part of Pioneer Research, which is the North American headquarters of Steiner binoculars, and also the worldwide headquarters for Vero Vellini hunting slings and straps, and, of course, SeaLife cameras. The SeaLife DC800 with its underwater housing has a list price of US$549.95. Out of its housing, it is a small and handy digital camera that you can take and use anywhere. Underwater you can use it to a depth of 200 feet. It consists of a standard (but modified for underwater performance) 8-megapixel digital camera and a very tough underwater housing. This is a review of the SeaLife DC800 digital camera that you can use both under and above water. Blickenstorfer photography by Carol Cotton) Scuba Diver Info - Camera review: SeaLife DC800 ![]()
