Calm before the storm - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Paul, I've been using the 770sw for about a year now, I really like it. For most photos I reduce the resolution to 2048x1536, I'll crank it up to the max if I'm taking someone's fish photo. I like how fast it powers up and is ready for a photo and how the lens cover keeps the lens dry between photos. I've never noticed a shutter lag on it compared to my previous Pentax waterproof camera. It's important to push the photo button halfway and wait for the green dot to show that it is focused. I always use the auto mode on the water. I dropped it 3' onto concrete once, it seemed broken, lens cover flopping, wouldn't power up. Just before I sent it in for repair I tried powering it up while holding down the button furthest from the power button, the printer button, and it rebooted and has worked fine since. Sounds slightly stoopid but it worked. Hope to see you on the water soon.
