Title: Sea Life Cameras?
Post by: bassnblues on September 28, 2007, 04:46:23 PM
As I'm sure a lot of you are also, I'm pretty hard on things like cell phones and cameras.

My second digital camera in as many years is shot, thanks to my own carelesness :P

I did some looking and I found a company called Sea Life which primarily makes underwater cameras but they have a waterproof, shockproof point and shoot land camera for about $200.00 that I'm thining of buying. Anyone know anything about this company or thier cameras?

Hi bassnblues,

I just looked at the camera and it looks interesting.  I never heard of that company but thats OK.  I see that it has 6.1 mp which is good enough for snapshot type pictures.  It has a depth range of 200 ft again not bad, especially if you intend to use it for above water shots (you still have to keep the lens clean) I would tether some sort of float to the strap in case it goes over board.

I haven't seen a price yet to compare it to any of the big guns yet.

Happy Catching

Hi All,

I just checked B&H Photo and their price is $499.95 less B&H.

Again not to bad and in the ballpark of other cameras with comparable specs and buying an extra housing for underwater use.

Happy Catching

The point and shoot ECOshot intersts me. It's a 6.0 megapixel and goes for $199.99 at B&H. I'll most likely pick one up next month unless I'm swayed otherwise.

Thanks for the input.
