I could use the same advice. I have always wanted a good waterproof digital camera. Come on all you pro photogs, give us some advice. What's the best digital, waterproof camera with price vs. performance?

No boat, back in the suds.

I just bought a new digital, but it's a DSRL and not waterproof. When I'm standing on the shore (probably talking to Joe L.) I promise to get some great photos of you all

I would check out the Olympus Stylus 8000. I have the older 770SW with the all metal body that seems to take more and better of a beeting than the plastic bodied Stylus cameras of that time (2 years ago). The 8000 has the same metal body.

Picture quality is OK but for some odd reason I can't figure out, my pictures come out fair to OK yet Tynan's with the same camera come out fantastic - can't figure out why.

The key to great pictures is composition. Tynan has a great eye for composition. Sometimes a fine piece of photographic equipment can help but what puts it over the top is the person looking through the view finder.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I was being a little tongue in cheek, he takes better pictures than I do because he is a better behind the lens than I .

Starfish -help me take better pictures

I don't think Tynan's camera takes fantastic pictures. This picture makes my hair look grey, my arms skinnier than they are and frankly I don't look nearly as handsome as I really am.
