Re: Camera for the yak?
Jerry,
Yes it does capture sound, not that great but good enough for this type of camera. The zoom lense is contained in the camera housing and that housing is flat, so there is no lense extension. This camera should work in your aquapac. Two things that I don't like but have learned to live with. The camera does not have a traditional viewfinder only the backscreen display that shows where you are shooting. In bright light and really dark situations it is worthless, you just aim and hope for the best. Second, as the W30 is a traditional digital camera and not an SLR type digital there can be shutter delay when trying to get action shots. But then again this is a $230 camera and not a $1200 Digital Nikon/Canon SLR. Still worth buying IMO. Ed Quote:

Re: Camera for the yak?
What type of memory does it use? SD cards by any chance?

Re: Camera for the yak?
Ed,
I've been looking at them, and will probably get one this week. The shutter stuck on the camera I was using at the time, and we got this beauty of a shot of a native golden trout in Troy Meadows. Of course, I was using the viewfinder at the time DOH!!!! Perry

Re: Camera for the yak?
ED , I donno if I can handle the lcd blackout in bright light! The one I have now does that and I have to shoot 5 shots to make sure at least one is acceptable! I'm looking for the "What you see is what you get!" scenario. BTW, Fry's has a 2GB SD card for around $17.99! I'm gonna get one for my daughter's Canon Powershot SD600 digital ELPH. . Aside to Perry, that's the camera she shot the Steppenwolf vid on! Video kinda sucked(short cameraperson!) but the sound was great! Piranha

Re: Camera for the yak?
I use an Olympus Stylus 770SW. This camera is waterproof to 33ft and is shockproof if you drop it. It has 7.1 mega pixels and has a good zoom. It will also capture video and has some other cool features. Almost all the photos in my gallery are with this camera. I got mine On sale at Best Buy.

Re: Camera for the yak?
Incredible,
The Olympus Stylus 770SW is the one I've been looking at. Thanks for the input. I checked Best Buy but they don't have a sale right now. I do business with B & H Photo once in a while and they have good prices now, so I think I'll go with them. I order on line through them, but always have good results. Here is the link if anybody wants to check them out. Digital Cameras, Camcorders, TV's, Home Theater, DVD Players, Apple iPods I'm going to try fishing Scotia Reef off Cabrillo tomorrow morning. Wish I already had the camera!
