If Ole Thom's choice of camera is on par with his choice of boats
it would not be wise to buy the same camera Thom bought.

Neal, Old Thom is sailing a Gulf 29 from Capital Yachts. I looked into
them for a while as they are well built and loaded with charm. The 29
is an even better sailor than the well respected 32.
And either are five times more boat than you own...and then some.

PS: Thom is also older than you by a healthy margin and STILL sailing.
You're not.

I wish I had followed that advice. I bought a Koda Easyshare DX7590 (5
Mpixel) Great camera, docking station,software. Easy to use, great
pictures. Troube is it won't fit in my pocket, so I never have it when I
want it.

I like the Canon's. I also like the SD card
format.

My vote would be for one small enough to
carry in a pocket comfortably. If you get
one that is too big it will tend to get lost
when it is shifted around.

Troll or not he still has the better boat and nothing can change that.

Now Bob.... you know very well that both Neal and Thom keep their vessels
in "Bristol" shape...... and what constitutes "better"???

My boat is better, if for no other reason, because I've added a structural bulkhead while
Thom, in his folly, has removed one.

The old coot is daft!

I bought one like this for $50 at a local electronics store. It's great for
a backup camera, takes great pics, and is so tiny it'll fit in your shirt
pocket.
