Deep Diving


SeaLife underwater camera features big buttons

When SeaLife Cameras says “create your own personal undersea concerto of sight and sound,” the company is not just waxing poetic: its new underwater camera has five piano-style keys for easier use in the seas.

The “new design redefines simplicity,” the company says. The five large primary control keys eliminate the confusing button cluster of a traditional camera, “to provide simple one-handed operation in any environment—even with gloves on.”

The DC1400 is a 14-megapixel camera that also captures 720p HD video, and has a 3-inch LCD and 5X optical zoom lens.

The $530 camera is depth-tested to 200 feet, according to SeaLife, and the external polycarbonate body is rubber-armored “for sure-grip handling and shock-protection in all conditions.” The pocket-sized inner camera can be removed from the waterproof housing.

The six underwater Modes include Dive, with UW color correction for diving without external flash, and Snorkel, with UW color correction for snorkeling without external flash.
