| Al's Camera |

| Piano Keys |
Most of us who dive love what we see. For many, the unique underwater environments inspire us to take photographs and videos. I'm no different. For years now I've had a little Sealife DC1400. You may recall in November I flooded it causing me to be without a camera for some time.
Well before I headed off to Mauritius I still hadn't got round to fixing it. I thought of buying a Sealife Micro 2.0, but my friend (Captain Al) said I could borrow his earlier model, the Sealife Micro HD for my trip as a trial. I did, so as an aide memoire I thought I'd right down my thoughts on it.
Like the rest of the DC series cameras it has the easy to use piano keys, feels chunky in the hand and has the preset underwater red filter entitled "Dive Mode". Unlike the DC models it's pretty flood proof as its a sealed unit that uses both wifi and a wet contact USB cable for download.
So what did I like and dislike? Well...
- I loved the app and wifi functionailty. Why wait to get back to sure before posting your pics on facebook or instagram. Share to tour phone and your off.
- Loved the hasslefree diving - no worrying about leaky seals, moisture munchers or any of that stuff.
- Simple and easy to use, I mean if Captain Al can use it....
But...
- It has no Macro mode, meaning blurred pictures of nudibranchs.
- No zoom mode meaning you may have to get uncomfortably close to that big angry moray.
- No Green water auto filter for the murky water diver.
All in, if you're just a snap taker like me then it's a great wee piece of kit, but if want to take some serious photos then keep saving!
