Product Description
The SeaLife DC500 features a new "Shark Mode" for faster and sharper pictures of moving objects underwater and in sports photography on land.The Shark Mode is activated by simply pushing the camera's OK button which focuses on the intended subject. The camera will now remember that focus range and take sharp pictures with virtually no shutter lag. Underwater, in diving or snorkeling, everything moves, the diver as well as sea creatures are in constant movement. In addition to the Shark Mode, the automatic Sea exposure mode will shorten the exposure time underwater for sharper pictures.

 Good case, below average camera May 29, 2008

I've had this camera about a year, and must say the case is pretty nice. No complaints with it at all. I know 4 other divers with the same camera and they like it. The camera itself takes horribly grainy pictures, nowhere near as good as a real canon or nikon pocket-sized camera. My battery was also shot after a year. You can tell the camera is cheaply made just by holding it - it's all cheap plastic. The case is pretty rugged though. To do it again, I'd get a case for my Canon 850 IS.

Great camera for those who like to take pictures but are not trying too hard. Mine didn't leak at all, went down to up to 100', just make sure you follow instructions. Clean it properly and watch out for the O-ring. Cons:
- adjusting the exposure and macro; mine came out blurry or way over exposed even in sea mode but I figured that was also due to lighting, so buying the flash with this would probably make the pictures come out better
- remember to switch to "take pictures"! I missed taking pictures of sharks, turtles, octopus (all in one dive) because I hadn't put it in picture taking mode.
The spy mode is pretty amazing as well, learn how to use it and it can give you great pictures. You can also take normal pictures on land since it's a digital inside a case, colors are sometimes off and exposure was my main problem.
Still pretty amazing though, I definitely don't regret buying this.
Great pics, but lousy housing September 9, 2007
I took this camera on 2 week long dive trips. During the second dive trip, (and having taken the camera on a total of about 13 dives), I noticed on the first day that that little plastic cap on the shutter button was gone. When I checked my photos, I realized that there were many missing shots. When I thought I was pushing down the shutter button to take the picture, I guess I didn't press hard enough and basically, was just focusing on a scene, not shooting it. During the rest of my trip, sometimes it took a picture, sometimes it didn't. Then to add insult to injury, the metal plate on the front of the casing fell off sometime during one of my dives. The casing seems to be poorly made. I never had a problem with leaking or fogging. But who know losing that little plastic cap on the shutter button would lead to so much frustration when I didn't see pics I KNEW I took. (PS the camera was not even an year old.)
 A big disappointment! June 9, 2007
The picture quality was terrible and the camera would lock and/or fog with each use. Virtually unusable. My friend brought her Casio EXILIM with Underwater housing.... a much better option. I borrowed it and the shots were much clearer and it never locked. I don't know why there is any hype around this camera. It is just a below average camera in mediocre housing.
 Great camera June 6, 2007

This is a great camera for someone who know how to read instructions and use it propery. This camera is not for idots who do not read the instructions then complain why there camera leaked becuase they failed to check that the camera was securely closed before they took it in the water. This camera takes excellent pictures I have used several times. You can get great pictures from a 5.1 MP. Don't waste your money on a $1,000 which is very bulky for those who want to use a nikon or canon SLR. Also, those cameras do not have the shark feature, as well as the sea feature and strobles are very difficult to use on those cameras. All that said I highly recommend this camera, especially if you like take pictures snorkling.
