Kodak’s new EasyShare C713 digital camera is endowed with the following specifications :-

• Kodak AF 3X Optical Aspheric Zoom Lens
• 5x digital zoom
• 7 megapixel with VGA video recording capability
• 2.4″ 115k color display


• 16MB internal memory


• SD/MMC memory card slot

Unfortunately, Kodak is lagging behind in the game as the EasyShare C713 lacks optical stabilization, but settles for digital image stabilization instead to reduce blur caused by camera shake and subject movement.

SeaLife has a new digital camera for underwater enthusiasts - the DC800. This 8 megapixel camera is capable of producing extremely sharp images even at depths of up to 200 feet, way ahead of what the RC-12 wireless mini cam can offer. Whenever you decide to lose your sea legs and head on land, the DC800 ain’t no slouch either in dry conditions. All you need to do is remove the slim camera fro its waterproof housing and you’re good to go. With fast shutter time and quick-start, you get virtually no shutter lag. Some of the features include :-

• Sea mode with 3 UW color correction settings
• Ext Flash Auto mode for automatic exposure settings
• Ext Flash Manual mode for manual aperture and shutter speed exposure controls
• Spy Mode ti automatically shoots continuous pictures at set time intervals
• 8 megapixel CCD sensor
• 2.7″ LCD display


• 20X zoom - 4X optical zoom plus 5X digital


• SD/SDHC memory card slot


• 22 Land modes


• 640 x 480 video recording

The SeaLife DC800 will retail for $549.95 and is compatible with SeaLife’s line of accessories.
