Sounds like things are getting ready to go .. this warm weather we are having will open things up nicely .. too bad I haffta be downtown tomorrow morning ... maybe I'll sneak out afterwards
easton13th Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry to here about the camera!!!! For about $20bucks you can buy a water resistant sealed floating case @ wal-mart. Or a case that floats and makes it able to take underwater shots up to about 20 feet deep for about $150.00. Small investment to loosing another camera and the great shots of you and the young one fishing! Congrats on the catch!
canadian_copper Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 SAME PLACE CAMILLJ!!! THE BOARD MEMBER YOUNG ONE NOT LITTLE C LOL TX ALL
just2manylures Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry to hear about the camera. We have all done something like that
bigfish1965 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 They have a new digi cam from Olympus that is water proof and crush proof. Sounds like something you may need CC.
ccmtcanada Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I just hang the camera around my neck and leave it inside my coat so it stays nice and warm...haven't had an accident as of yet.
easton13th Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 The Olympus is a great camera....but with it's rugged durability it does still SINK..
trapshooter Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Congrats on the big hen Scott. If you are looking for a new camera, get in touch with fellow OFNCer David Chong. He helped me out with a camera order recently. He was very good to deal with, professional, prompt and gave a great price on the camera's we bought. The olympus 770sw (waterproof) is a very interesting new option for fishermen. You can completely submerge the camera and still take photo's. I imagine this would bring the steelheading pics into a whole new ballpark.
canadian_copper Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Posted March 21, 2007 TX ALL!!! UNDERWATER DIGI I WOULD LOVE!!! WHAT PM ME A PRICE RANGE IF YA COULD OR GET MR CHONG TO PM PLEASE!!! TX
young_one Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 http://www.directdial.com/ca/shop/item/prod.asp?item=DSCN2 BEST TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE. I guess its not exactly for the outdoor, but still VERY NICE CAMERA! -10.1 Megapixal - Touch Screen display - etc If you want this price, you gotta hurry. Print off that page and show Future Shop the price. I believe they usually have price match. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetai...amp;catid=24256
Canuck2fan Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) CC the Olympus cameras are very interesting but I read up on them and they have a very fatal flaw. The screen apparently washes out so bad in bright sunshine that it makes the camera unusable according to hundreds of reviews. Here is the link from Futureshop for the 7.1mb version. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetai...4717&catid= Edited March 21, 2007 by Canuck2fan
Roy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks for the report, CC. You didn't do it in Caps so I assume it was a small stream. WTG, Bud.
