$600.00...burning a hole in my pocket!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a Optio WR43 and it is fantastic. I have the 5.0 version at work. The 5.0 is smaller, and even more water resistant, but it uses a funny little battery pack, which I dont like.

The 43 takes fantastic pics and has been BOMBPROOF. I left it in my PFD pocket for an entire day of swiftwater rescue class...unphased! It also uses regular AAs which is more versatile. It snarfs AAs however, so I bought so 2500mah AA rechargables (last a LONG time) for 90% of the time, and use regular AAs for back up on long road trips etc.

This is from a 43 on "medium" settings. Look at the detail on this fishes head, the water, Jrs gloves etc. Couldn't ask for more.
