One of the details that caught my eye was the substantial attachment point on the camera body for a lanyard. In fact, the camera does come with a strap that fits there. I just know that if the camera isn't securely attached to me -- or to the boat -- it's going to go missing. Reasonable specs, for a point & shoot camera, but I haven't read any reviews on it yet. I know a lot of the lower end cameras don't do well in low-light situations, for example. I'd be interested in what you find out, what you end up getting, and how well it works for you. I won't be getting another camera until Spring or Summer -- since it's for taking out on the boat with me. -- Darryl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
