What Video or Still Camera Do You Use?

We currently have a Nikon D70s digital SLR, which is great for being arty and taking technical photos, but I worry about exposing it to the harsher conditions, so we're currently looking at buying a Canon D10 point and shoot type digital camera.

The Canon D10 is a shockproof, waterproof point and shoot digital that will hopefully stand up to the rigours of boating and still take good pictures. It seems to get good reviews from the photography crowd for its technical abilities as well as its ruggedness. I'd be happier taking such a camera more places (like going ashore in the dink, on the leeward side deck, etc) so we're more likely to take photos rather than not because the camera might get splashed or something.

We bought two cameras away with us: Olympus Stylus 1030 waterproof lie. Thats a crappy camera that needs underwater housing. Failed after 4 immersions and is now useless and we can't get it fixed as we are cruising.

Our great buy was a Cannon 40D SLR. Its shoots 9 photos per second




When you are cruising you really need the best when it comes to cameras. The small take anywhere camera with propper underwater housing, and the big pro camera for wildlife and action.

The dolphin photo above is a crop of the original pic taken from about 200 meters away. The full width pic is attached. Try gettong that quality, or even getting the shot, on a little camera.
