Over the years, I've always carried a high-quality pocket-sized film camera (Olympus XA, Olympus Stylus, Yashica T4 Super) or, in later years, a digital camera in a zip-loc bag in a vest pocket. When my last beloved digital point-n-shoot (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5) died, I found out the market for that class of camera had been killed off by the mobile phone camera... most everyone had a mobile phone, and most every mobile phone had a good-to-excellent built-in camera so no one was buying low-end digital cameras any longer.
Well, I'm one of those few people who don't own a mobile phone. But I did pick up an iPod Touch which is just an iPhone without phone service. The camera is impressive. And I hate using it. It just doesn't feel right holding the thing and I'm certain I'll eventually drop it into the water.
I have a Nikon D750 DSLR and a "beater" Nikon D200 for risky environments. The D200 is a bit bulky to carry on normal fishing outings. I just ordered a Fujifilm Finepix XP130 waterproof digital point-n-shoot. It cost a little over a c-note and has a 16.4 MP sensor (my D200 DSLR is 10.2MP). It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I'm anxious to do some test shooting with it.
Anyone use one?
