Joan, For me, price is always a consideration, but I first chose the Pentax over the Olypus based on three things: The P shot video at 30fps, used cheaper SD cards and had less lag time on the shutter. By now I imagine the Oly probably has caught up with the video and lag time, but I'm not sure. They do seem to have a rugged unit though, guaranteed shockproof. I would not choose a camera that needed to be in a waterproof case, as I use it too much. I also like the size of the P over the O as it fits in my pocket better. Hope that helps in your decision. Mark Sanders www.sandmarks.net -----Original Message----- I hate to ask this but I have to replace my waterproof camera and need help. I KNOW this has been covered but the reason I need to replace it is that my house was broken into and I lost my cameras and computers and even the back drive. I had been saving the camera discussions but . . . So I need help, please. I want a camera with a zoom and that takes decent pictures. The Sony CyberShot was a camera but not all that satisfactory. I know what I don't want from it <G> Thanks for the help, Joan Spinner *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
