Replacement DC1200 (camera only)

[WetPup]

Hi all,

I recently flooded my DC1200 (tried the usual recommended steps for drying it out, but no such luck) and when I took it in to my LDS, apparently they won't cover it under warranty. So I'm looking for a replacement camera. Don't need another housing or anything, just the camera itself. Websites I've searched so far seem to sell the packages (camera+housing+-strobes). Anybody know where I can simply purchase a replacement camera online?

Many thanks!

New SeaLife Inner Camera for DC1200 Underwater Housing - eBay (item 140489869533 end time Mar-13-11 00:13:04 PST)

I had seen that before and looked when this thread went up but missed it. He has it under Water sports but not listed under Digital cameras.

Send it back to Sea Life directly. It will cost around $135 to repair. That's probably your cheapest route. I just sent Dc1000 back and they had me a new one a week later.

I started to suggest that, should have - yeah, they are great!

That is potentially an option, thanks

Though that means sending it back to the US I assume? Because I took it into my LDS here in Oz and they came back and said they wouldn't cover it under warranty. I'm unsure who made that decision, the LDS (who is a SeaLife distributor) or SeaLife themselves.

Ask about other possibilities on the manufacture's forum SeaLife - ScubaBoard

I did the same. Sea Life replaced mine for $165!
