Cameras on the boat

[NoNo]

That's one of the many reviews I've read. If everyone else can make super-slim cameras, why can't Canon? And you know the day I buy it, they'll announce that new, slim version will be released.

If I didn't already have a waterproof camera that refuses to die or get lost on me - I 'd get the panasonic.

I'll post more of my optio w60 photos over in my kayak thread.

But whatever camera you get - make sure to take it out and practice with it, and use the different camera modes (either take notes or whatever) and then look at them on the computer to see what's working best in what light - because nothing sucks more than taking a new camera on a trip and missing good shots because you don't know how your camera responds to what lighting. It took me a while to realize that the optio was best at -0.7.

Actually, what does suck more is when there were 2 bears like less than 50 feet from me last week and I didn't have an sd card in my camera, but thought I did.

After last night's paddle I'm more ready than ever to get my camera. Phone out of the bag, snap a picture, phone back in the bag, repeat while rocking on the waves. It was such a lovely night, and weeknight paddling was vastly different from weekend paddling, so quiet and very few boats to deal with. I checked out a new area (to me), my first real trip in Long Island Sound as opposed to the rivers and marshes I've been doing. My technique is improving, although I was getting a little dizzy as the waves were pushing me from behind. Guess I need to get my sea legs.

And the Hullavator scored another win! Pulled in to launch and as usual the guys just stood around. As I lowered my boat, a woman came over and exclaimed "Whoa! I really like your set up there!" When I explained the hydraulics and how it lifts the boat, she said "So you don't even need to rely on anyone. That's the way to go!" To which her husband responded with a hurt-sounding "Hey!"

If there's anyone around, when I'm coming back to the car with my boat, I usually see them top to watch how exactly I'm going to do that.

There's the waterproof fuji for $80, if that's in your budget.

I was half debating starting a thread where we could just dump in pics of our kayaking if anyone's interested in seeing that.
