Summer's here at last (at least for those of us north of the equator) which means holidays filled with sun, sea and sand. While sunshine is always good for taking photos, for most cameras sea and sand are best avoided. If you drop your average pocket...

Waterproof to 200 feet. Built-in Wi-Fi. Large easy-press controls. Ultra-wide lens. 1080p60 video capture.

Lengthy shutter lag. USB adapter is easy to lose. Low-res rear LCD. Fish-eye look isn't for everyone. Wi-Fi remote feature has blocky, low-quality feed. No built-in flash or light.

Conclusions The SeaLife Micro 2.0 is a specialized camera. Its lens, body design, and large buttons are ideally suited for snorkelers and scuba divers. Yes, it's perfectly capable of shooting stills and video on dry land, but that's a secondary...

looks pretty

Much too difficult to set up and use. You have to carry the instruction book with you as the one button operation with codes is way too difficult to remember ; Not managed to use it once during a 3 week holiday in Brazil. Disappointed

Waterproof casing looked and functioned ok ; Full refund was given

Images were terrible ; Constant lines across each photo like a bad television reception

Colour quality, display screen, feel, 5 mega pixels, rugged armoured housing.

menu a bit long winded and short battery life.

light, simple learning curve.

Badly designed strobe system because of the fiber optic connection to sensor.
