Re: [Paddlewise] RFI Opinion on waterproof camera

I have the camera and find it just fine for what I wanted to do.  Note,
not too much in the scenic, nature, for that matter, 'pretty' pictures. 
Strictly content stuff that didn't require a great distance.  It is a
fixed wide lens.

Recently, I have gotten the Canon s100 digital with a waterproof case
that will give me more latitude (pun) and expediency for what I do with
the images.  There is the Sony psc(?)-1 digital that is also available
with a waterproof case (to 100'), quite a bit higher resolution and a 3x
optical zoom as well.  Flash is lacking in both cameras, but I am quite
happy with the Canon Elph (Ixus in your part of the world)

All in all, I have banged the Canon sure shot on the top of my kayak
with no ill effects and the images are fine.  I would recommend some
sort of lens water shedder unless the droplet distortions don't bother
you.
