Picked one up yesterday and headed out on the lake with some friends. Really enjoyed the camera. Its light weight and responsive. Image quality is excellent for a point and shoot. It is waterproof to 33 feet and drop proof from 5 foot. Great for a camera to take while doing outdoor activities. Built in GPS tagging of photos will let you remember where you took the shots.

The HD-Video is top notch also. Great picture and stereo sound. One butto nvideo recording is really nice. Nothing to fool with, just press it and its starts/stops recording.

Anywho, highly recommended if you need a camera that will take a beating.

What is a good entry level DSLR?

Love my little Canon SD1300 but most of the time just too lazy to grab it and use this as the camera of choice. :P

Do wish it was water proof though!

I just spent the last 2 weeks upgrading my digital cameras.

I needed something that I can take extreme close-ups of gold. All my cameras were either way too dark without the flash or with the flash just washed out the gold. I found a digital microscope that works perfect for that. I also found an Olympus fe-5030 with an Ultra-Marco.

Then for shots of prospecting, I added a Nikon Coolpix L810 with 26 optical zoom. http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26295/COOLPIX-L810.html

Because I want to post videos to my website I picked up a JVC GZ-E10AU Full HD with a 40X Optical Zoom and a JVC GZ-EX250BU same specs as the GZ-10AU with with a touch screen.

The coolest thing I picked up was a GoPro Hero2 Outdoor Edition, HD video, http://gopro.com (Gotta watch the video)
