SeaLife Ecoshot Goes Deep Down For Photos

Some outdoor and watersports enthusiasts couldn't care less about taking photos while they're savoring an adrenalin rush. But some do have an artistic side and would love to record the precise moment when their buddy reels in that marlin or their kid snorkeling for the very first time.

While the Olympus 720 SW underwater digital camera does the job for most people, it does have its drawbacks for when you want to head down deeper to capture photos of sea life. It's depth tested to only 10 feet and shockproof tested to five feet. It has 28 shooting modes, 3x optical/5x digital zoom, 2.5 inch LCD screen and 7.1 megapixels to name a few of its features - which are many.

For those who aren't too interested in all the fancy features but in a camera that can go deep down with them and is durable to boot, the SeaLife Ecoshot Digital Camera fits the bill. It's tested waterproof to 75 feet, shock tested to six feet and has a SPY mode. This lets you capture hard-to-get pictures when you can't get close to the subject by taking continuous shots at set time intervals. It has a 6 megapixel CCD sensor for sharp images, 4x digital progressive zoom, is rubber-armored for durability and a sure grip, and runs on 2 AA batteries. It has a 2 inch LCD screen and can take a 1 GB SD card.

While the SeaLife Ecoshot lacks many of the features of the Olympus 720 SW, it should be durable enough to shoot in any condition and take you deep underwater for crisp, clear images that you wouldn't otherwise get with the Olympus.
