We use a Pentax WR90, which has a 38-90 zoom lens. It is not advertised as "waterproof" although it is dunkable. Do not zoom it while it's under water, though. I've worn it under my PFD in Class III rapids, so you needn't worry about it getting wet. The lens is not as good as my Pentax AF/SLR lenses, but better than most point-and-shoot cameras. > I have one also. It's advertised as "water resistant", however, there are a number of positive stories about salt water immersions in the r.b.p. archives. I was disappointed in the zoom capabilities. I'm not a camera buff so I guess my expectations were too high. I took a picture of a young bull moose from about 30 yards and it came out looking like a chipmunk. :-(. I'm quite satisfied with the picture quality though. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Nov 20 1998 - 06:06:17 PST
