Editorial Review:
The SL511 set has been developed by divers for divers! The ReefMaster RC camera takes beautiful underwater and land pictures and features a one step "Push Here" shutter lever for easy operation. The unbreakable rubber housing on the Reefmaster RC camera locks out water and provides a non-slip grip beneath the water. The RC camera has a built-in a color corrected "coral flash" that compensates for the blue effect on closer objects but leaves the aqua color of the seascape untouched. Operational up to 164 ft, all the SeaLife ReefMaster RC camera requires are two AA batteries and regular 35mm film.This photo set includes the macro 3x close-up lens and underwater filter, which fits easily onto the camera's lens for close-up photos within 2 to 4 feet underwater. The lens is multi-coated to reduce excessive intensity and will improve pictures in low visibility water without the use of an additional strobe. With its ability to take quick, easy photos the SL511 it's the only underwater photo set you'll ever need! The set also includes water-tight, shockproof case carry case and foam insert included for accessories, SeaLife color booklet "Great Pictures Made Easy" and "Moisture Muncher" anti-fog desiccant and Care Kit.

Takes Great Photos and is Easy to Use
I am a novice scuba diver, and completely new to underwater photography, but I do have a lot of land photography experience. I bought a ReefMaster RC camera a few days before going on a recent Caribbean vacation and am very happy that I did. I took it on 3 different dives, a shallow (35') reef dive, a deeper (72') reef dive, and a deep (82') wreck dive (a WWII Soviet Warship!). The camera is very well designed and performed extremely well; even after I dropped it! (It bounced.) It's a breeze to handle... more info
Over priced camera that leaks
Well I bought this camera a few weeks ago to go hawaii. Well it leaked after one roll of film so cleaned it out and let dry over night and loaded it again the next day and leaked again to where the camera didnt work anymore. Well I ended up getting some underwater disposable cameras. When I got the film developed the the disposable pics actually came out better than the 1 roll that came out of my $... camera (imagine that). Well now Im trying to get it repaired or replaced and I have to pay to ship it to... more info
A good beginning underwater camera!
I just purchased this camera and have already used it on 6 dives and found it to work so much better than other disposable cameras and housing for scuba diving. It's not a Nikonos (sp?) but it's still pretty good for a beginner. The only thing I don't like too much is that if you're pretty close to one object but also too far away from another object in the same frame, the flash is only good for within some many feet. Anything further and you can start to see the bluish cast from taking underwater photos... more info
Great starter or casual photo set.
I just came back from a trip to Maui and the pictures came out exceptionally good. ...If you plan on being a published photographer, but if you just want great pictures for yourself and family,and don't want to spend another $500.00, I would reccomend this camera. I have been scuba diving for the better part of 25 years and have seen many other cameras that cost more but don't deliver the quality of this one. It takes great pictures in and out of the water.
