I bought the Sealife ECOshot SL321 a few weeks prior to my first diving vacation Philippines, Nov 2008.
It has been a major disappointment in terms of picture quality and functionality.
The camera is somewhat weak in both ends of the color spectrum (red+blue) so all pictures becomes pale/grey/turqoise - even near the surface.
The flash does not work in macro-mode and is useless for most more remote targets if the water is not extremely clear: Strongly illuminated particulate matter in front of the camera will outshine the intended "background" target as flash and lense is too close.
The films are ok apart from the color weakness mentioned above.
Batteries are eaten in no time - get expensive ones.

My own I Zoom sadly malfunctioned. To have it repaired (if it could be) was a minimum of £35 plus postage etc. On checking with Amazon I found one at £20. I contacted the seller after placing my order and was e mailed back of reason for selling. It arrived within 24 hours. To say it was a bargain is an understatement. It would appear to be brand new as if straight off the shop shelf. Considering mine cost £200 3 years ago I would suggest I got a very good deal. There is nothing in digital or any other that can give one the panoramic shots that and APS can. IE: Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House being a prime example. I am a "Happy Bunny".

This is my first SLR had it 1yr n a bit. It goes everywhere with me and is helping me through a BA(Hons)and i love it. Exposure range and apature settings with 100mm lens are great so plenty to play with.
Although you can't use infrared film because of a sensor inside the body.
I recommend this to anyone starting out or just after a good SLR hobby camera.

Excellent Manual 35mm SLR camera with the added convenience of Automatic Scene Programs. Incredibly useable in fully manual mode with great ergonomics. One handed selection of Aperture and Shutter controls and 2 frames per second for sports photography. Takes a superb photo and an absolute gem in the classic Pentax range.
