Sea Life DC500 Details

Editors' Comments

The allegedly innovative Sea Life DC500 is a lightweight underwater camera good to depths of 200ft. Time Magazine has named the Sea Life DC500 one of its "most innovative inventions of 2005," but we can't see what all the fuss is about. While the DC500 has reduced the bulkiness and awkwardness of traditional underwater cameras, it doesn't seem like a tremendous leap forward for underwater photography. Its 5 megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom are decent enough, but this camera seems more the product of clever marketing than real innovation.
