- Model: Canon Elph Sport APS Camera Kit
Review Canon Elph Sport APS Camera Kit / Canon Cameras US Sport:Made to capture the high-octane energy of real-life, ELPH SPORT has the top-quality performance and the compact waterproof design to go anywhere - under the sea, up the mountains, or out on the city streets. Finally-an underwater camera that's small enough to take anywhere, yet advanced enough to give you high-quality results with easy operation. The Canon Elph Sport camera integrates Elph's crowd-pleasing Advanced Photo System ease of use and portability with a sporty waterproof body. Not only does it take pictures on land at the touch of a button, but it is submersible to 16. 4 feet for underwater photography. It's a good bet for vacations, since you don't have to lug around a separate, clunky underwater camera in addition to your point-and-shoot. The Elph Sport easily fills both roles, offering signature Canon quality along with special features designed to make underwater shooting easier. The Elph Sport features an extra large viewfinder that enables you to frame your shots even with dive goggles on. A special meniscus lens and underwater macro setting account for water's refractive properties and ensure crisp shots. Larger-format controls allow you to operate the Canon Elph Sport even when wearing gloves. [+]Another highlight of this camera is the anticondensation feature that prevents your lens from fogging up in extreme temperatures or moist climates. The Canon Elph Sport also includes a five-mode flash with a special underwater setting and red-eye reduction. This camera uses autofocus on land and has user-selectable focus settings for underwater shooting. The Canon Elph Sport also incorporates all of the basic features of an APS camera, including easy drop-in film loading, three shooting formats (classic, high-definition HDTV, and panorama), built-in date, time, and caption imprinting on the back of the photo, and print quality improvement (PQI). Weighing only 7. 8 ounces, this camera is so light it will float. It measures 4. 1 by 2. 9 by 1. 8 inches-not much larger than a deck of cards. Its distinctive rounded, translucent green styling is a real eye-catcher. The kit includes a soft nylon case and a foam-rubber neck/wrist strap as well as a one-year warranty. |

Key features SeaLife SL560 Pro Dive Camera Set
- Push-button operation
- Comes with SeaLife macro 3x close-up lens/underwater filter, SeaLife care kit, and external flash
- Waterproof to 164 feet
- 35mm wide-angle lens

- Model: SeaLife SL560 ReefMaster PRO Set 35mm Camera
Review SeaLife SL560 ReefMaster PRO Set 35mm Camera / SeaLife SL560 Pro Dive Camera Set: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. The SeaLife ReefMaster Pro set includes a SeaLife ReefMaster RC camera and an array of accessories developed by divers for divers. The camera offers automatic operations and point-and-shoot ease while handling depths up to 164 feet. The large shutter lever requires only light pressure, even at major depths. The SeaLife ReefMaster RC eliminates the need to focus by using a fixed focus to take pictures from 4 feet to infinity. The SeaLife ReefMaster RC can also take shots on land. It uses standard 35mm film and AA batteries. Other features include a built-in flash-but a more powerful external flash comes with the Pro accessory pack. The external flash is fully automatic and reduces backscatter. The soft deluxe padded carrying case offers an adjustable shoulder strap and will keep your camera well organized and protected. The kit also includes a SeaLife macro 3x close-up lens/underwater filter, a SeaLife care kit, SeaLife Moisture Muncher antifog desiccant, the SeaLife color booklet Great Pictures Made Easy, and a user's guide for the external flash unit. |

- Model: Minolta Vectis Weathermatic Zoom APS Camera
Review Minolta Vectis Weathermatic Zoom APS Camera / Konica Minolta Weathermatic:The VECTIS WEATHERMATIC incorporates powerful features to support outdoor activities. This new model has a 1. 7X zoom with a 30-50mm focal length range (approx. 38-63 mm in the 35mm format) that can be used even underwater. The camera also offers underwater autofocus. Whether shooting on land or underwater, the images captured by the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC are sharp and beautiful. In addition, the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC is submersible to 10m deep and can be used carefree for snorkeling and other marine sports. Moreover, the shock-resistant performance of the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC is higher than conventional cameras for worry-free use during skiing, trekking, and other outdoor activities. Thanks to the Advanced Photo System, the print size can be selected from three options. In addition, the Drop-in Loading feature offers simplified film loading. [+]Finally, the camera provides a positive grip to secure good focus on unstable footholds. Take Minolta's Vectis Weathermatic Zoom snorkeling, skin diving, boating, or to the pool. This camera is completely watertight and durable. Shock-resistant materials and a double-thick outer shell, front cover, and rear cover make it ideal for outdoor use. It is also bright yellow, making it easy to spot and retrieve if it falls overboard. The above- and underwater auto focusing system features passive phase detection which determines its focus based on subject contrast. Since there are no infrared beams to get lost in the water, this type of auto focusing system can focus accurately underwater. The Vectis Weathermatic also offers 26mm long eye relief that allows the user to view the whole image an inch away from the viewfinder eyepiece. This is especially useful if you are wearing goggles or eyeglasses. The Vectis Weathermatic features all you've come to expect from an Advanced Photo System camera: drop-in film loading, three print options, and date/time imprinting. It also detects whether an exposed film cassette has been inserted into the camera, preventing double exposure. The built-in flash features full auto, manual fill, cancel, and night portrait modes, plus a selectable red-eye reduction lamp. |
