has anyone tried sealifes digital camera? I have been on their web site and they look quite good, but their dig. cam looks very much like a vivitar dig cam I saw somewhere else. This bothered me a bit, so I write for any suggestions anyone might have. Thanks Lindsay > has anyone tried sealifes digital camera?

It appears to be a version of a Vivatar camera and I suspect Vivatar makes the camera for SeaLife who puts their name and logo on it. I saw one at Walmart. I don't even know if Vivatar is still manufacturing that model camera anymore. The Sealife version has some additional settings that the standard Vivatar does not have. I don't know if the Vivatar version has any possible case differences, albeit minor, that would make it incompatible with the underwater housing. This is a picture I took while in Boynton Beach, last November using the Sealife DC310. http://splashdowndivers.com/photo_gallery/montages/your_pictures/IMAG0043.JPG The difference between the DC310 and the DC300 is the underwater housing. The DC310 allows access to more camera controls. Otherwise the camera part is the same.

I have been on their web site and :they look quite good, but their dig. cam looks very much like a vivitar dig :cam I saw somewhere else. This bothered me a bit, so I write for any :suggestions anyone might have. I own one of their old 1.3 megapixel cameras, with a strobe and 3X macro attachment. Here are some pictures that were taken with that camera: http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/Grouper2.htm http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/durgeon.htm http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/Moray.htm http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/Shark.htm http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/Lion.htm http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/Clown2.htm I now use a Sony 4 megapixel with no strobe. As much as I like the sealife, here are some of the reasons I like the sony better. Remember that the current sealife is better than mine. More flexibility with the sony. With the sealife, if you accidentally put the camera in the wrong mode, you take no pictues on that dive. With the Sony, you can change the mode underwater. The sony needs less light. The built in flash is sufficient underwater, and on land, it is better in low light.

Remember that the current sealife is better than mine. Thanks for the picture links and the detailed info. Would you mind linking some pics from the Sony camera you use now? Also what is the name/model of the Sony camera and housing?

Anything marked New on this page, http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/underwater/index.htm was taken with a Sony Cybershot DSC-P73 camera and the Sony Marine Pack. Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Dan, Have you any thoughts on the DSC W7 with housing as the P93 is obsolete and I have having trouble finding one to purchase. Any thoughts you have on this would be appreciated.

I have never seen a DSC W7 and therefore have no opinion of it. However, I do like my P73, and both cameras are made by Sony. I also like the housing, also made by Sony Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Thanks I saw the web site, camera not in stock right now, this is something I have found alot, the W7 is also on this web site, just wondered if you thought that if the W7 has the super ccd had chip as well as the p93, might they be similar in underwater results and performance? Also the marine pack is available from sonystyle as well for the W7 and it along the same lines as the P93's marine pack?
