[pct-l] CAMERA Choices???

[David M. S.]

Hi, I'm a bit of a lurker on here.  I'm a big fan of the Stylus SW 
series of cameras.  I have an older model that has served me well, and 
the newer ones are pretty darn good.

Most are around 5 ounces, all are shockproof and waterproof, and the 
850SW retails for under $250.  You also may see older models on eBay for 
$125-$150, but I think the picture quality has gotten better on newer 
models.  They can't, however, take an external lens, but the high end 
model Stylus Tough-8000 is 12 megapixels.

I like not having to worry about the camera getting dropped or getting 
wet, and I can carry spare lithium batteries with more in my bounce 
box.  I used to carry a Nikon, but I was always worrying about it 
getting trashed.
