Compact p.a.s. camera recommendations?
Doesn't need to be waterproof, but lightweight (truly shirt-pocket size), good zoom, good resolution in low light, and good macro. Under $200 a big plus, in case I do drop it in the drink.... Suggestions? - JR |

Suggestions? I carry a Sony DSC W90 which is an antique by now but I like the Sony Cyber-shot cameras. This is the second Sony Cyber-shot I've kept so long it has become obsolete. It's credit-card size, has a great Zeiss lens, decent macro and the battery lasts all day for several days. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Suggestions? - JR I reallly like the Panasonic LUMIX. Best fishing camera I've ever used, by far. I have model DMC-TS2. There's probably an updated model. Waterproof to 33 ft, shock proof to 6.6 ft. Bright LCD display (important in bright sunlight). Good battery life. |

Frank Reid You should do a commercial for them.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - One of the best adverts for it would have been when the dog saw the lanyard for it hanging down from the table, pulled it down (without cold cocking himself) and decided to play chase with it. Lanyard in mouth, running through the house (we have tile floors) and ignoring all calls to stop until I got a clue and gave him his recall command. Grand game. Frank Reid |

A camera that survives things you won't leaves open the possibility that in someone else's hands it will demonstrate a tawdry demise. In it's absence you, like so many other historic.....and/or mythological.....heroes, will undoubtedly acquire the sort of reverance you deserve. giles whose presumably ultimate demise has been carefully mapped out. one cannot be too careful with an all too often capricious posterity......cf., brahe, scott, kepler, quetzacoatl, earhart, darwin, enkidu, cleopatra, zoroaster, baker, et al., etc. |

You don't learn. g. who, to be perfectly honest, can't get all excited about the price of feathers and **** as long as immitation doughballs (yeah, the real thing has gotten expensive.....but i've been telling y'all that for years.....and nobody listens) are cheap and deadly. AND who is preternaturally humble in the face of those who respond with an uncanny semblence of pertinence to things they NEVER read. |
