But there's no sacrificing image quality. The SeaLife DC500 captures ultrasharp, high-resolution pictures and overcomes underwater photography challenges including poor light, waterborne particles and quick-moving subjects.

...grant money, but Cameron made it easy for the researchers from NASA and various universities who co-star with him in the movie. He took them along on 40 dives to vents in the Atlantic and Pacific and filmed the objects of their study with his custom-made, ultrasharp 3-D camera system. To get to where the action is--two miles down in some cases--Cameron used four manned submersible craft and a remotely operated vehicle that was built by the director's brother.

...paradox of these pictures is that their visual crispness masks the complexity of their message. Avedon's ultrasharp focus seems to promise minute disclosures. His blank backgrounds suggest elemental truthfulness. If this is not a straightforward picture of the West, what could be? But those optical certainties are a tease. Avedon makes that explicit in the foreword to a recently published volume of these pictures (Abrams; $40). "A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture," he writes. "The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part...
