There are auto settings for newbies and manual control for when you gain a little more experience. Pop it out of the case and you have a nice topside camera. Even add an external strobe and wetmate lenses at a later time. This camera will grow with you.

What sort of manual control do those cameras have that the Sealifes don't?

Pending "dbh's" reply, and as a DC600 owner, Id have to say skip the Reefmaster. Im really not happy with my DC600 at all. For the amount of money spent I was expecting something better. The case is really nice, but the camera is on the cheap side.

I believe that when most people recomend the Reefmaster, it's because they are in denial about it being a poor value.
