You get what you pay for
(Jim Hilton - 10/7/06)I have takin my DC500 with ext flash on two dive trips. It's been underwater about 20 times now.
I have read most of the other reviews and can agree with some points, for example the battery life and the ext flash not flashing.
I am happy with my purchase for the following reasons. The first being that I have thru settings on the camera been able to make the camera last for a 2 tank dive, taking about 70-80 shots each dive. While I admit I would like to make it last longer, as the title says (You get what you pay for). The other major issue being the flash. I read some sugestions on this site and a few others. I bought a new fiber optic cable of good quality and painted the inside of the optic clip white. It has been working perfect eversence. I had the opertunity to compare photos with someone that had a camera that cost 5 times what mine cost and guess what?
The DC500 won.
