I have the Canon "Sport Utility Camera" and am very happy with it, especially NOT worrying about - it floats too. It comes in a neoprene case. It has several different modes that make it versatile, including a macro function to take close ups underwater. The fixed lens is all right, but you have to get really close to the scenery to photograph it. I assume making a waterproof zoom is impossible or cost prohibitive right now. The picture quality is excellent with all sizes the advanced photo system allows. It is not as good as a zoom lens, but this is a small worry free camera. Trouble is keeping moisture off the lens - I'm going to cut a small piece of chamois cloth to carry with me to take care of this. If the neoprene case is wet, condensation builds up on the lens too. Hope this helps, Tim Boat'n in the Ozarks *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
