Good morning all,

This week we’re going to review the DC1000 by SeaLife.  This camera is a great compact camera that consists of 10 megapixel compact camera with a 6.9 cm LCD screen. The zoom lens has a range of 37-185mm (5x optical zoom). The camera works on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The battery life is 2+ hours or 200+ pictures.  SD and SDHC memory cards are used in the camera.  What’s most special about this camera is its four color correction filters that can to be used underwater – two for blue water and two for green water. The eight white balance functions for above water can be used underwater too, including a manual white balance. ISO ranges from 64 to 1600. Shutter speed in underwater mode is 1/60 to 1/1500; when an external flash is used, 1/60 to 1/500.  The underwater housing has been tested to a depth of 60 meters.

The DC1000 also has to other camera’s within the 1000 family which consist of the DC1000 Elite and the DC1000 Maxx.  The DC1000 Elite offers one external flash and the DC1000 Maxx offers two external flashes. The SeaLife DC1000 is a user-friendly camera, suitable for underwater photography and enhancing the user’s photography skills at the same time.  Check out Dip ‘N Dive’s website for these and other great products!
