![]() Both cameras provide a maximum 16-megapixel resolution yet the same physical sensor size, by way of further comparison, with the W300 being very much the jack-of-all-trades for those who want a point-and-shoot camera for scenarios in which you wouldn’t risk a smartphone or mirrorless camera. Of these, we’re recommend checking out the 5x optical zoom Nikon Coolpix W300 (opens in new tab), which is waterproofed to a decent depth of 30 metres, even if the SeaLife offers double its depth capacity. RivalsĪs mentioned above, the obvious competitors for the SeaLife Micro 3.0 are the various ‘toughened’ compact camera models with their riveted, industrial-looking faceplates from the likes of Olympus, Ricoh, Nikon and Fujifilm, to name-check the chief competitors. While it can be used for shooting regular images on land, of course, the key feature here is its ability to be dunked in water to a maximum depth of an impressive 60 metres, which is broadly twice the depth capability of most competing ‘toughened’ and waterproofed digital compacts one might otherwise be tempted to buy.īattery life is said to be good for just over three hours of continuous use, and, keeping things convenient, the SeaLife can be washed clean under the tap after you’ve had it in the sea or the river. To cope with all this – while avoiding the need for card slots that may be a potential point of ingress – the unit has an internal storage capacity of 64GB. This, in turn, allows for the extraction of 8 megapixel equivalent still images from a motion sequence – in effect video grabs. Keeping the ‘permanently sealed’ electronics well out of possible harm’s way has enabled the manufacturer to claim this one won’t ever let water leak in.īelying its toy-like looks is the fact that the camera claims to incorporate a Sony made 16MP CMOS sensor, while we also get the ability to record 4K resolution video clips. That’s as soon as we’ve charged the internal battery of course, which is encased within its plastic exterior so cannot be removed and charged separately. The SeaLife Micro 3.0 is described as ready to use right out of the box. ![]() (Image credit: Gavin Stoker/Digital Camera World) ![]()
