[cool]Iam sorry to learn of your loss (camera), myu. I hope I am not at fault for suggesting you take more pictures for us. I am afraid that the salt water bath will not help it take better pictures. Maybe that is the excuse you need to get a digital camera. But, you have a decision to make, about the kayak. I hope you are able to do both. We enjoyed the pictures you shared, and look forward to seeing some more.
The digital cameras available in the United States are becoming very reasonable, for one that you want to use mainly for taking fishing pictures. We recently got twin Olympus D-550 digitals for TubeBabe and me. She is having fun with it, and is taking some good pictures...but not all of fishing. They can be purchased for $299 US, and if you find a good deal, will have a larger memory card with them. They are 3.2 megapixels, which is more than enough for storing and sending fishing pictures. In fact, I have to cut the file sizes way down for posting and emailing pictures.
Perhaps your newfound friend, with access to base purchasing, can be a good source for helping you get a good deal on a camera.
In the meantime, you will have to learn to be more careful, and to watch what you are doing. We all hate to lose fishing tackle and other personal items when we are fishing. I am sure you felt badly when you saw your camera sinking into the water.
P.S. Sorry about the rules on the 16 fish contest. Perhaps we can have our our float tube forum contest. Winner gets an assortment of "TubeDude" jigs or something.
