I don't think you need anything fancy, especially for posting on the
web. In fact, IMO, an inexpensive camera is a better fishing camera
because you won't be so worried about damaging it that you're reluctant
to use it. If you're worried about it or you have it stowed so it's
difficult to use, you're not going to use it as much and a fancy camera
without pictures is pretty useless.

I have an older point and shoot digital Canon A20, 2 meg camera. You
could probably find it used on EBay for about $50 but I don't think
you'll find any new. The newer models A40 and A60 (2 meg cameras with
more control features) can be picked up new for under $100. It has a 3x
optical zoom but I'd like more and its closeup mode isn't good enough
for quality fly pictures. However, it's a great fishing camera. It's
inexpensive enough that I don't worry about using it when fishing. It's
also small enough and light enough that it's easy to fit in a shirt
pocket or a small vest pocket. It generally stays in my vest. A digital
also makes it MUCH easy to post pix on the web.

Thanks Willi.

One more question: do you color correct the images (or use some sort of
color correction software built into the camera) before posting, or are
these the images right out off the memory card?
