Nicely done guys...WTG!

Thoughts are definitely with Jack. Hope for the best.

Great catch Chris!

I'm definitely no hunter but don't hunters spray themselves with deer pee to cover up their scent?

Very nice Laz. Some incredibly mint fish there

A lot of Asian grocery stores have Largies for sale. At one store down the street from me, I remember seeing them being unpacked a couple times from boxes that came from Florida. In the past I've also seen bullheads, striped bass, black crappies, eels, carp, bowfin and rainbow trout. I don't know about you but the majority of fish in those tanks are covered with fungus (and rot) which totally puts me off from thinking about eating them.LOL

Thoughts are prayers are with your daughter Wayne.

Initially when I saw the title of the thread, I thought Dave Mercer ate 19,381 subway sandwiches.LOL

Love the series. It’s been out for quite some time. My friends in the UK sent me a copy of it about a year ago. Great footage and good narrative by Jeremy Wade. If you’re a fan of the River Monster series and are a fishing bum or adventure junky, try to find Jeremy Wade’s DVD titled “Jungle Hooks”. He goes into the Amazon for Arapaima (Like in River Monsters), and goes to India for golden mahseer and Goonch catfish in another – I liked those a little more than River Monsters (Especially the India one). There’s some brilliant fishing programs in the UK that put a lot of what we watch here in North America to shame.

My DSLR hasn't made a river trip yet (Sans the small water like the Upper Credit).. I just don't trust myself, lol. I've ordered up a AquaPac so I can at least bring along the body with the nifty fifty and kit lens and keep it completely dry. No way the L lens will fit into the waterproof casing, but that's ok, it should be great for fish pics!

If you’re going the aquapac route, I’m definitely interested in seeing the results. Especially for the price. Currently thinking of getting a waterproof bag/case from EWA Marine - Vistek sells them in Canada but for way more than B&H in the states (I'm hoping UPS doesn't ship it). Pricey things but the results seem quite impressive for a ‘ziplock’ bag.

I usually dunk 1-2 cameras per season...Even destroyed an Olympus waterproof/shockproof one

Seriously, why am I here in Ontario.

For the world class carp fishing

Uh so you do own an Olympus too!

 

Us Canon and Nikon owners point and laugh in the faces of Olympus DSLR owners

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't mean "she's NOT even looking" I meant NOW she's even looking at the L110.

Let's say I'm in a room with some natural light and it has 6 pot lights all on high, would the pic's still turn out so-so? For some reason she's got her mind made up on a Fuji finepix S1800 Thanks for the help here Mike and others.

Hard to say...I guess it would vary from camera to camera. With my Panasonic FZ18, I haven’t been able to take any continuous action shots indoors worth keeping (of moving subjects that is and without a tripod). I ended up buying a new DSLR along with a new external flash unit to cope with indoor action shots at relatively high speeds (might not be 6fps but it sounds pretty close).

What you can possibly look into is a P&S camera with a hotshoe for an external flash. The combo will be pricey though and the cost may not justify what you get VS a basic DSLR.

Easiest solution would be to forget about the continuous burst mode and saturate the memory card with as many pics as you can under normal mode. You might only get 1 fps or less but the results would definitely be better than trying to take a bunch of photos with poor image quality.

Thanks Mike. She's not even looking at the L110 for the price. All she want's is to make sure that she "doesn't miss the moment" for b-days and Christmas pic's. I like the idea of hold down the button and get 20+ pic's in the few seconds so this way she can pic what she likes best.

Oh...Burst mode (AKA continuous mode)...Generally 2.5-3 frames per second is standard with most mid to high end P&S cameras. Indoor continuous shooting will be problematic though. On most models, you can’t operate the continuous shooting with the flash (so indoor shots will essentially be super dark and blurry). Problem is the camera won’t be able to take the next shot till the flash recharges/recycles.

But with that said, for outdoors pictures, continuous mode is what I use quite often during my fishing trips to get action pics

Like this of my buddy Norm during a carp tournament:

Hey Geoff

Here's a review on the P100

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q110superzoomgroup/page7.asp

Here's how the P100 stacks up against similar cameras

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q110superzoomgroup/page19.asp

I spent 3yrs in the world of bridge superzoom cameras. I owned 2 Panasonic FZ18 superzooms as my last cameras before getting a DSLR of my own and can say they are great all round cameras. I've also test drove Canon and Fuji's superzoom version for a couple weeks. With that said, while they look similar, super zooms are NOT DSLR cameras. For the most part they are designed with a much smaller sensor and as such aren't that great in low light conditions (night, dawn, dusk, indoors) - Image quality isn't all that different from your average P&S camera (Technically speaking, they are still a P&S camera). They don't offer you the ability to switch lenses (some are able to work with a teleconverter of some sort though for additional telephoto range). If you're a pixel peeper, you'll notice the noise (graininess) a lot more than even a basic DSLR.

They do however offer similar manual controls as seen on DSLR cameras. On top of that, depending on the camera, you get more features not otherwise seen (if any) on high end DSLR cameras (Face recognition, a slough of scene modes, etc).

Do you know exactly what your wife wants to do with the camera beyond just taking pictures?

Mike

I’d consider the brain injury to be a life sentence for that unfortunate individual.

Perhaps just as disturbing as the crime is the mild sentence handed to the scumbag

Technically speaking Mark, your 14-42mm is a wide angle lens (albeit a zoom lens). Definitely wishing I had the 10-20mm though for my own baby. I could make my fish look twice as big in hero shots

Really digging the early morning/evening shots. I’m hoping to shoot some star/sunrise time lapse vids in the future when I pick up a new digital timer

Beautifully coloured fish Doc...Nicely done

PS. When are you gonna break out the spey rod?!

So the big question is...Considering it’s a char...Like a lake trout...

Did you get it to chase?

Awesome job Jacques! Really diggin' the 3D eyes...They just scream eat me

Fantastic pics Mark

Beautiful pics Bill...That pic with the eagle is stunning. The 70-200 L looks like it may find its way into my kit bag in the future. Were you using a tripod for that shot?

Chat's definitely been working Bigugli...Maybe something's not right with your computer. Possibly a browser problem?

Full house tonight

Aaron entered Tony’s boat for a good day of fishing on the BOQ.

Aaron said, “Tony, see that Lowrance colour fish finder with side imaging technology...I invented that”

“But do they call me a revolutionary, technological, fishing genius? No...”

Then Aaron gestured over to the wide expanse of Lake O and said, “1 mile out, I rescued another fisherman whose boat was capsizing along with his wife, 6 kids, 2 dogs and next door neighbour.”

Aaron continued, “Do they call me a hero? No...”

Then Aaron said to Tony, “See how the regulations for walleye now protect the prime spawners unlike before? I was the head lobbyist and at the forefront for all of that”

“But am I known for my groundbreaking conservation efforts? No...”

Aaron looks around nervously, then whispers to Tony

“But you get one huge sheephead to suck up your worm and put a bend in your rod...”

Congrats Aaron
