Product Description:

The SL560 Pro Dive Camera Set includes everything a diver needs to professionally document underwater adventures. This kit will have underwater photographers of all skill levels shooting like pros.Operational up to 164 ft, the 35mm Reefmaster RC camera features a wide angle lens, big sports viewfinder, large shutter lever (for easy use with gloves) and automatic winding. It's also equipped with a special built-in "coral flash" that compensates for the blue effect on closer objects but leaves the aqua blue color of the water untouched.SeaLife's large External Flash unit provides additional light for brighter underwater pictures with more vivid colors. SeaLife's External Flash is positioned 12 inches away from the camera's lens, and a deflector covers the camera's built-in flash, to reduce annoying backscatter - small particles in the water that reflect light and cause white spots to appear in the picture. The unit allows divers to aim the flash at most any angle. The flash unit can function reliably at distances from two to eight feet from the subject.The Macro 3x Close Up Lens is easy to attach. The lens slips onto the camera for close-up photos within 2 to 4 feet underwater and 10 inches on land. For distances over 4 feet, simply slip the lens off, even when underwater. The multi-coated lens enhances red and yellow color and reduces excessive blue color while providing exceptional clarity. The lens coating also reduces the possible over exposure of the ReefMaster cameras' built-in flash at close distances.

Great for photos of your Undersea Garden!2008-12-21
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R34TEN38HI82ME I purchased my first underwater camera when I was just 12 years old. At the time, the only one available that didn't cost a minimum of $2K was the Canon Aqua Snappy. It worked quite well for many years, but eventually wore out.

The SeaLife Reefmaster is the camera I replaced it with. I didn't get the Pro set, but I later got most of the accessories that are in the Pro kit, including three macro lenses. I would recommend this camera for anyone ho can't afford the higher priced digital models. The photos are clear and crisp, the flash filter does a fairly good job at restoring yellows and reds to the images, and there is a good array of accessories for it, including macro lenses and strobes.

With all underwater film photography there is a significant amount of intuition and luck involved in taking good photographs. However, the attachable underwater viewfinder for the SeaLife Reefmaster does a pretty decent job at lining up the subject well.

This camera is durable and easy to use, and the perfect starter camera for someone interested in underwater photography. One of these days, I will be upgrading to a digital underwater camera, and when I do, you'd better believe I'll be looking toward SeaLife in my top picks.

Great camera as far as point and shoot goes. Although you can save money buy direct from SeaLife.
I just recommended the SeaLife Reefmaster...2000-06-11
....over the Canon Elph. It works at a greater depth. This makes it more versatile at only a slightly higher cost.

However, the "Pro set" is [no bargain]. Just buy the camera instead.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.
