reef master mini, good? bad? ugly?

[crunch@]

I'm looking for a cheap, decent camera. I am thinking about the sealife reef master mini. It seems ok i would like to find a used one but they are hard to find. Re they junk? good enough for a novice? you tell me.. thanks

I was happy with my Sealife camera until I used it. After one trip to Cozumel with it, I upgraded to a Sea and Sea camera. I am now ready to upgrade to a DSLR.

There is some recent discussion on this camera if you scroll down a little bit or you can click my Pink Link in my signature (which takes you to the Sticky at the top of the UW Photo forum) and look in the post about "Current Compact choices" - I think the links to the two discussions on the Mini are about halfway through the post (and I think it's post #2 or #3 ish).

For what it's worth, this wouldn't make my top ten list of choices. I'd head for a Canon A series and Canon housing - it'll serve you well on land and under the seas
