Re: [Paddlewise] Camera Recommendation

I'm leaning toward the Pentax. I like your monopod. I intend to use the Scotty
mount (the one that caps off) molded into the deck profile of my next kayak
for various attachments (sail, etc). I've just now added another accessory I
can consider. Send us links to your pics. I'll show you, mine when I get some.
Can't let mark get all the glory.

  Hi Doug,

  I've been pleased enough with the Pentax WP and WPi to just upgrade to the
Optio W30 (I skipped a couple of generations). The W30 is still more
waterproofer yet - enough so that they recommend it for snorkeling, plus it's
got interval shooting, a feature I hope to combine with my new deck monopod

  to get the elusive kayak-cleaving-though-oncoming-wave shot (usually, you
put down the paddle to pick up the camera, lose your forward way, and it
becomes the kayak-being-broached shot. Yet again.)

  Anyway, Pentax is about due to release whatever the next generation of Optio
W will be, so if you hang tight, you may be able to score a killer close-out
deal on the W30. It's small enough to slip into a pocket of your PFD, keeping
your deck uncluttered.

  Cheers,

  Philip
