PhoenixFlight's Full Review: Sea and Sea MX-10 35mm Film Camera
Do you enjoy water sports? I love all types of water sports and I love to share my experiences with others with pictures from every trip. I use to worry about damaging my regular camera by exposing it to water but that was before I learned about underwater cameras from Sea and Sea. Now I don?t worry at all.

The Sea and Sea MX-10 is the perfect camera for anyone wanting to take great photos while not having the worries of getting your camera wet. Made from sturdy plastic and water tight, the MX-10 35mm camera from Sea and Sea gives you optimum performance for a low price. You don?t even have to worry about focusing the camera since it has a built in focus free lens. The MX-10 has auto film, loading advance and rewind so there is very little to do before you are ready to shoot pictures with it.

This was going to be my first underwater camera until I found out that I would not be able to adjust the shutter speed to anything other than the 1/100 that the camera comes set too. I like to have a little more control over my photography and although I found the camera to be perfect for beginners, a more experienced photographer like myself would probably like to have something a little more complex than what is essentially a non disposable box camera.

So then my verdict on the Sea and Sea MX-10 underwater camera is that I highly recommend it for tourists and amateur photographers alike but would rule out considering it for anyone who ever earned cash with their pictures. The built in flash and set shutter speeds will give you great pictures, I viewed the demo shots while I was interested in the camera, but once again found it lacking for what I intended to use it for.

I am going to highly recommend the Sea and Sea MX-10 even though I ultimately chose not to buy it because I believe that there are a lot more amateur photographers out there that would find this camera to be more than adequate than professionals that will be interested in the camera.

Good luck with you decision!
