Default Video Cameras on Kayaks/Canoes

There are several waterproof digicams out there that are meant to be
still-cams but which have powerful video modes. They cost $150-$250.

Let's see, there's the Pentax Optio series and the Olympus SW series
(I think). The Oly's are also shockproof.

That guy's website has several good pages on kayak video-ing. He uses
the Pentax's. He also has links to various sticky-pod tripods and
such. I suppose a gorilla pod would also work in some situations.
Yeah, then there are the booms---cool---you can operate them from a
sea kayak cockpit, too, I would think.

That's a rather old article.

The Pentax W30 has already replaced the W20 and Olympus has also
replaced the 720 SW with the 725, 770, 850 and my current camera, the
1030 SW.
