I was looking at a Sealife DC500... I'm good with a regular digital camera, but I've never tried underwater photography before. Would this be a good choice, or is there something similar that's maybe a little cheaper? I'm kind of klutzy, so a really really nice camera is out of the question. Plus I have a slightly small budget. xP
Hi! Welcome to the slippery slope of underwater photography!
Please check out the Pink Link in my signature for some getting started information including links to recent discussions and examples from the Sealife DC500 and other options you might want to consider
Do a search on this camera, it's been discussed mutitudes of times.
It's a cheap camera in a nice rubberized housing. But you give up much much in quality and freedom, that could be obtained at the same price (~$400-500), with a Oly/Cannon/Sony/Nikon point and shoot in housing for that camera model in a factory housing. PLUS you get a top notch land camera which will be of much higher quality than the SeaLife brand.
It's not that it's a bad rig, but there are much better alternatives.
