Photo : SeaLife SL321 ECOshot 6MP Digital CameraIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - A decent little camera, but not greatThis is a decent little camera. There is a lot of shutter lag that is annoying. If you plan to take an action shot - one of your kids jumping into the pool, for example, you better press the button before they jump. You are going to get a blurry picture no matter what. If the kids are underwater, be prepared to go under and look at the screen to take a picture. If you wear contacts, you will need goggles. The pictures are fine, but are not as sharp as I had hoped. Rating: - Far superior to a disposable waterproof cameraThe good - A 2 GB memory card works fine. Landscape shots are sharp (clean the lens after dunking!) are not distorted and not off-color. Used it for a rafting trip and a hike in the Zion Narrows. It got dunked many times. The eh - Used up the supplied alkalines in less than 2 hours of actual use. The lithiums are still going after 4 hours of use. The bad - There's no real zoom. The video size is tiny. The bottom line - We think this is a good camera that costs less than a decent waterproof case and it takes digital pictures that are far superior to a disposable. Rating:  - SeaLife Ecoshot SL321I bought this u/w camera to take snorkeling in the islands. It took good photos both under and above the water. It fairly easy to use and it very sturdy. The battery/memory card compartment locks tight to prevent leaking. I used rechargeable batteries and was able to take over 200 pictures on 1 set. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking to take decent underwater photos while snorkeling(I haven't tried diving with it yet) or even hanging out at the beach/lake where you don't want to take the chance of ruining your regular camera. Rating: - What a buy!!!This camera is a Great buy!!! I used it down in Floria and the water was murky but you could see what I took a picture of. It was easy to operate and again the pictures are just Awesome!! Remember to clean it after every use especially when used in salt water. Takes great pictures out of the water also. Too me it was just a smart move to purchase this camera. Rating: - AWESOMEThe underwater video is amazing, it even has sound. Use the enclosed "CD" to set up picture downloads, it can't be easier. The best underwater camera I have ever owned. Do not leave camera in "video" mode while just looking around. If you hold it in your hand, you tend to hit the play button and you have a lot of video of yourself with breathing, eats up battery life. |
