Camera Advice

what ever you do ...
DO NOT get that POS Olympus Stylus Tough 6000.

I can tell you that is about as big a piece of dung as you'll EVER find..
Tough eh?
They must have meant "tough luck" getting it to work "around" a water environment, let alone IN!..I had to send it in 3 times to be repaired..

REI has the GoPro Hero 960 for $179.95

I like the sound of the Go Pro, a friend of mine that has one says you can also use if for still shots, is that true?

This is the $179 mdl. I wasn't sure if the $299 mdl was the one to go for. Which mdl to you shoot with Wade? Your vid's always come out great.

Thanks

I have the GoPro too. It has a few things you have to get used to, but it does take good video for the price. If you go with it, only use good storage cards or you will end up losing videos.

That looks really good, do you know anyone that has a track record with it. I like the idea of the remote and the LCD screen.

Thanks I'll do some research!

I have the GoPro HD and it is a very nice camera. It is also very small, so it does not get in the way while fishing. I have the chest strap that holds the camera so I take pictures or film fighting a fish very easily. It is perfect for kayaking or other water sports.

One thing is Flydigital is correct that in that the buttons do take some practice using them. I normally set the camera up to where it is in video mode and I only push one button to record and stop recording.

Sorry to hear that Wade! I thought since I've seen some videos since you lost your camera that you had a new one. The FF should be very productive though.
