are you using this camara Dave?

it's what my photo store guy ( also a fly fisherman with property right on a
local River with big trout surface feeding on the flat right behind his
house, it turns out :-) suggested. But it doesn't have a view finder and
I find the LCD screen hard to see in bright light ... do you have that
problem?

I have the old model that is "water resistant". However, I have
dropped it (twice!) into water knee deep with the lens open, and once
with the lens closed (fall - it was in my vest), but no harm was done.

Santa's gonna give me the water proof one. I'm going to opt for the
"Frank Reid Signature Model", good to a depth of ten feet and dropped
from six feet.

I miss a view finder. That would be my only complaint. I understand
that it is easier to make it water resistant and water proof without
it.
