Sealife Dc1200

Sealife Dc1200. SeaLifes new DC1200 makes underwater photography it easier than ever before.

Mystical sea creatures, vibrant colorful reefs, or haunting wrecks from a bygone era, the DC1200 is the camera to catch them all. SeaLife-s new 12-megapixel camera combines diver-friendly design and four underwater color modes, for sharp, colorful pictures underwater or on land.

SeaLife eliminated the typical button cluster on the back of the camera, in favor of five thumb operated -piano key- controls. The large shutter button extends forward with a fingertip-control lever that allows scrolling through menus or zooming in and out without releasing your grip from the camera. This -Central Command Lever- and the -Piano Keys- are making great underwater pictures and videos easier than ever before.
