The DC1200 housing uses only 5 large "piano key" buttons to access key elements in the cameras program. Navigating through the menushas never been easier than now with the introduction of the Zoom Control system, which acts as both the 5X optical zoom adjustment as well as the fingertip control to toggle through the menus. The shutter button also doubles as the set button while diving to minimize the need to move your hands around the cameras housing.

An oveall good camera for the price. As with any camera you will need to learn how it shoots under many different lighting conditions. Dive site visibilities and lighting as we all know can change in a minute! I used this camera for the first time on a recent dive trip. I just used the easy set up with no special configurations. I took some great photos and some not so great photos. Understand that underwater photography takes ALOT of practice with any camera. I had the camera at 140' and no leaks. The single flash works great but will take you a few shots to get the aiming down. Found it very easy to switch between photos and video. Shot a video at 100' of a white tip reef shark with no light. Video was a bit on the blue side with the easy set-up settings but had excellent clarity. I am happy with the camera and it will be a good tool to learn with before juming into a Cadillac.

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL708 DC1200 12.0 Megapixel Elite Set Digital Camera kit with Digital Pro Flash:
- charger defective from new
- digital zoom off, on telephoto, display has trails when moving camera to frame subject.
- pics blurry due to camera motion regardless of ISO setting
- poor performance on land in daylight, so I cant imagine how it can work at all in low light underwater work.

The other strobe attachment fell off while snorkeling.. Highly recommend taking it off unless you put another strobe on.
