hey scotty,

Come out and have a look at the one i bought the misses. I'm sure Wendy would be allowed a go if you can pry it out of Josies hands!! its a Cannon DSLR with 18 pixies and a 50mm to 200mm lense. Seems to take a pretty god shot. Even makes my point a shoot look a little better

Matching pink floaties in case you drop the cam after being distracted?

Er.. seriously - is that a Sony?

Yes, Sony Cyber Shot.

I have an Olympus. Whilst there have been a couple of hassles with the water seals, if you follow cleaning instructions to the letter - which I didn't to start off with - the camera is great.

Prior to that used to use disposable waterproof cameras.

Hey folks a bit of a new question:

I am trying to also find a decent point n shoot waterproof camera along the lines of a Lumix FT1 (maybe an Olympus tough 3000) that has good all round performance - for a P&S - 720P vid with IS but the tricky thing i can't find info on anywhere is getting a cam with interval timing shots.

This will be the go-anywhere fam camera but I also want to sling it off my kite so good vid and interval timing (both with IS) are definates.


BTW - I know they do burst shots but I am after regular shots that can be set to go between say.. 1-10 secs intervals.

Has anybody got one of these and know the deal?

Cheers.
