another week on the water
Well I thought that my Olympus mu 790 had met its match and rusted out when it suddenly stopped working one day last week. And when talking to others with the same camera came to the conclusion that this is not really a great waterproof camera.Then I decided that maybe I should just try a new battery and lo and behold when I put in the new one it began to work better than before. What a relief. So I still have a little faith in the old Olympus.Others including the famous Silbs and I think also Derrick are using the Pentax Optio. I wonder which is the better of the 2 and how long do they function for. This is my second one , the first packed in after 2 months and was replaced under guarantee. These small cameras are very convienient, small and handy as compared to the larger camera housings , but the housings are probably a better bet for the long run.

The Optio W30 at 7 megapixels allows for some fine images and, when necessary, allows for a good deal of cropping.
do you take it out in rough weather and stormy seas too and is it immersed a lot.How long have you been using it
I usually have it tucked into my pfd and on a lanyard. It has been submerged many times and is about a year old. After emersion, there is sometimes a bubble of water on the lens and if not wiped away blurs an area of the picture.
