SeaLife Micro 2.0 WiFi

 

The SeaLife Micro 2.0 WiFi can dive deeper than most waterproof point-and-shoot cameras, but it's a slow performer.

Waterproof to 200 feet. Built-in Wi-Fi. Large easy-press controls. Ultra-wide lens. 1080p60 video capture.

Lengthy shutter lag. USB adapter is easy to lose. Low-res rear LCD. Fish-eye look isn't for everyone. Wi-Fi remote feature has blocky, low-quality feed. No built-in flash or light.

Conclusions The SeaLife Micro 2.0 is a specialized camera. Its lens, body design, and large buttons are ideally suited for snorkelers and scuba divers. Yes, it's perfectly capable of shooting stills and video on dry land, but that's a secondary...

VuPoint 5MP Underwater Digital Camera Review and Prices

 

If you're in the market for a digital camera that has everything you need at an economical price, then focus your sights on the VuPoint 5-megapixel (MP) Underwater Digital Camera. This lightweight camera not only takes good-quality pictures when you're...

Waterproof transparent case; shoots still images, video, PC camera, voice recorder; 5MP image sensor; 2-inch LTPS LCD color screen; 16-megabyte built-in flash memory; SD external memory card slot; auto flash; macro mode and 8X digital zoom feature; USB...

Need to memorize the control buttons when using the camera in the waterproof case as the buttons are hard to identify, action shots tend to blur

Underwater Cameras - Group Test

 

Summer's here at last (at least for those of us north of the equator) which means holidays filled with sun, sea and sand. While sunshine is always good for taking photos, for most cameras sea and sand are best avoided. If you drop your average pocket...

Sealife DC600 Underwater Camera

 

The biggest downside to this camera is that it has virtually no internal memory and the external memory (expandable through SD memory cards) is only expandable to 1GB. This isn’t much of a problem as you can safely take around 150 to 200 pictures...

Great little camera. Great company.

 

I had used a Sealife DC310 and loved it but wanted a camera with a higher number of megapixels that would allow me to better crop my photos without pixilating. I have had nothing but exceptional customer service from Sealife (Pioneer Research) so I ...
