Sometime ago several posts recommended a digital camera for your vest.
My
usually impeccable files have some way become discombobulated. I would
appreciate any comment and recommendations again.
TIA

I just got a Pentax Optio WR. Seems to take decent photos - although I
haven't
given it a good workout yet, is waterproof class 8, and is nice and
compact
(about 4"x2"x1").

My just made it through Penns and at least one dunking. Love it.

Been looking at the same camera -- can't find any info on battery life on
their site. I know that batt is a Li-Ion, which should last a while, but I
can't find any info on roughly how many shots a batt will last.

Any info?

Gracias,
Dan

The spare battery package I got says "up to 2 hours run time on a single
charge". FWIW, the startup time on the camera is very short so there is no need
to leave it on for any period of time.

I have been using Energize e2 Lithium ( dispoable ) batteries in my
Pentax. The battery package says the last up to 7 times longer in
digital cameras and I believe it. The first set I used I shot up 6 or
8 128 meg chips. I kept waiting for the battery light to come on and it
never did. When I took them out they would still work but I had to let
them "rest" between pictures.
