 Tin,

I got one of these from an ebay seller shop,cost $150 and because I got it delivered to work didn't get bothered by customs for VAT. Not a bad camera with a bunch of features for the money. I'm sure there are some serious bits of kit available out there but you'll find it hard to get value like this.

A few people I know use the Olympus mju sw models and are very happy with them. I've heard good and bad about the Pentax Optio W models.

Talking about Digital Camera, not head cam or cam corder, thanks for the info anyway.

anyone have info on digital (still) cameras?

 I konw your looking for stills camera but the one I got takes stills and video

"Digital Still Camera 3 MP (2048 x 1536); 5 MP (2560 x 1920)  - 11 MP (3840 x 2880)"

Best of both worlds.

I have had the Pentax Optio WP for a few years now

Pro's

• You can quickly take phtots and video without the need to get out of your boat as its small enough to fit in your bouyancy pocket

• It can also be used on a night out on holidays etc (as in it's not ginormous!)

• You can edit the footage and photos on the camera 

Cons

• Battery doesnt last very long, you'd need to charge it befor eyou go out for the day

• The lends doen't ahve a cover so you often need to dip it in the water to clean the lens

Overall it takes pretty good pictures and Im really happy with mine.
