I subscribe to Consumer Reports and they evaluated digital cameras,
recently, and picked the Nikon Coolpix 2200 as a best buy in the 2 megapixel
range. First of all is 2 megapixels okay for your normal fly fishing
pictorial chronicle and has anyone had experience with this camera, or would
recommend something else?

Chris, who appreciates your input!




Take a look at the water resistant Olympus cameras as well. The nice
thing about the Olympus cameras -- one hand operation. Slide the
cover open and the camera is on -- take the shot, slide cover closed
-- all with the just right hand. I have the 410 which is a 4MP camera
but they make a 310 also that is less money.
