Excellent entry level dive camera
(Mark Hofer - 1/1/07)My wife gave me the DC500 as a gift based on on-line reviews. Although I have very little photography experience the camera provides excellent photos that make the camera an excellent value. I recently bought an external strobe, which does improve the color intensity but is not neccessarily a must have unless diving in low visibility. I used the strobe while diving in Cozumel last week and took some excellent pictures...but drained the strobe's batteries and could only use the camera's flash during the second dive. The camera, with only the on-board built-in flash —in those clear waters— provided excellent pictures with brilliant color. The camera is easy to use, and is also kind on batteries...I can easily take 300 pictures on one charge. It is an excellent camera for the money and you won't be disappointed.
