This mini SeaLife camera is a nice addition to the underwater digital camera range.

The Reef Master Mini SL320’s size is a handy 78mmx12mm x43mm, having a weight of 295 grams: this makes it a good size to carry with you underwater although it is a little tricky to operate there. It has a standard 2” TFT LCD, which is a nice feature but a slightly larger screen would make it really useful.
Like all SeaLife cameras, the SL320 is nicely wrapped in rubberised armour, which protects it from on-land drops of up to 2 meters and also gives good traction so it feels nice to hold in or out of the water.
SeaLife Reefmaster Picture Quality
The SL320 has land and sea modes to enable you to take photos of equal quality in the dry or wet. It also has a built-in camera flash, which is useful for close range underwater shots but also has an external flash mode for use with external SeaLife camera flashes. The color of underwater images can be enhanced by the camera itself using Sealife’s color booster “Sea” mode. The combined results of these features means that the Reefmaster camera creates nice, sharp and color rich pictures with well-balanced underwater blue color effects.
SeaLife’s Reef Master SL320 also offers you wide angle options to enable panoramic and close up macro functions making it a very versatile digital underwater camera. On land the Sealife Mini camera lens tends to cause minor vignetting but the results are still strong.
General rating for the SeaLife Reefmaster Camera (Mini SL320) is generally high. It is a robust and versatile model which generates a reasonably good picture quality. Like many underwater creatures it is slightly more sluggish on land but not painfully so. The size of the LCD screen suffers in comparison to some models especially underwater but for the price SeaLife’s Reef Master Camera offers good value for the performance and features it offers.
