Now that I've had some more time to think I do know what I consider to be a major drawback to the DC500. It eats batteries like a kid on Halloween night. Usually the battery will last only one dive. Better have a spare battery at about $30 and it's a dedicated battery. You can only get it from Sealife.
It does eat batteries, but I have used it for 2 dives. Also I do not have the info but I got batteries from ebay and they were only around $2.00 and were 1000 ma hour. They were 3.6 volt instead of 3.7 but work great in the DC600. I have six. They are for an Olympus camera, I believe.
Search for LI-40B or LI-42B which is the battery number.
