her experiences and see those pictures.

Please let us know what you think.

I think that most of the pictures looked rather well, but some looked a
bit grainy. She had two hitewater pictures, but with the amount of light
present, I could probably have taken the same quality picture also with
my WR 105. Also, I found some of them pretty dark. I'm not quite
convinced yet that this is the camera I have been waiting for to make
the switch to digital. But maybe I'm just too critical or too old
fashioned... :-)

It would be nice to have a "cult"
waterproof digicam, like the Pentax WR series used to be for 35mm film.
The previous Olympus Stylus 310 and 410 were not highly regarded.

Yeah, tell me about it. :-)

I have two Pentax WR105 camera's that I like a lot. I almost feel sorry
to stop using them, since they both still function just fine, despite
serious abuse on my account!

Most digicams are too slow at default ISO setting, or too noisy at
higher ISO settings. The Fuji F10/F11/F30 and E900 are exceptions,
but are not waterproof.

Yep, I'm rather hesitant to go digital, in part because of that. On the
other hand, being able to erase bad shots and take as many as you like
without worrying about the extra cost associated with using more film
also has its merit. I'm also not quite convinced that the digital
pictures last long enough, with CD's and DVD's losing their data after a
couple of years. Maybe it's time to invest in a RAID 5 array to store
digital pictures? :-)
