Wow...What a game changer.

By JEFF H.

 -  Stevensville, MI, US

Haven'tI upgraded from the DC1200. What a difference. This camera is AWSOME. Underwater pictures are remarkable. I just got it before 4 dives in south Florida. My rig uses the Sea Dragon SL963 flash, Sea Dragon 2000 LED Video light, and I also upgraded to the SL963 Fisheye lens. This combo is easy to use, easy to carry with a good underwater strap, and pretty light weight. So much to learn with the new Camera yet, but my first sets of pictures are VERY detailed. You now have many more opt...

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

SCOTT W  How is this camera for macro shots? Nudibranch, Pygmy Sea Horse, Juvenile species etc.
jane t  Not too bad... but I am a novice scuba diver and underwater photographer so I am certainly not a seasoned pro! We do have several other experienced divers who use the same camera and they get some great pictures!
Jason S  Yes but I believe you need the micro lens sold separately. I think the price for the lens is a round 200
JEISKA R  I don’t shot a lot of macro but the ones I did (nudi, sea horse, and sea slug) worked to my satisfaction with the camera’s setting.
JOE B  what is the max depth?
RICHARD H  200ftt
TERRY J  200’ with the housing. Have personally used it at 150’ depth with good results.
Shopper  Does this come with a removable SIM card? What is the GB?
jane t  Yes it does and it’s 64GM
Susan L  It does not come with a SIM card. It uses a Micro card up to 64 GB.
Courtney b  Does it come with the dive housing?
WILFRED A  Yes.
Melissa G  Yes. Comes with everything in the picture. Wide angle lens is separate.
MARY H  Yes, it does.
JORDAN T  Yes.
Shopper  What is the best set up for video?
Mark H  Add the Sea Dragon 2300 video light. There is also a 2500, but I find the 2300 to be more than enough. And, it is less expensive also.
