underwater camera in it's category. What really set's The Micro HD 2.0 apart from other

Out of the box it is ready for anything with built in 2.4" LCD screen, internal memory(32gb or 64gb) and WiFi. Permanently sealed housing means there is no o-ring for you to worry about. Depth rated to 200ft/60m. The Micro 2.0 has 4 modes: Land, Dive, Snorkel and external light.Sealife such as underwater housings, batteries, memory cards, screens and color filters all of which are included in the Micro 2.0
We recently had a chance to test this camera in a variety of diving conditions. While snorkeling in Bonaire the built in color filter was perfect for bright, vibrant colors. It was super easy to use. I liked it best when used with a tray and handle for stability. While Scuba diving on Vancouver island we were particularly impressed with the quality of the still pictures although there is no option for a flash or strobe the SeaDragon lights can more than make up for it. I do recommend having the duel lights for the dives 60 ft and deeper in green water as the water gets pretty dark at depth.
