Which camera for yakking? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PapaDave · 08-03-2011, 01:10 PM

GoPro, the 960 res version, should be about $159-199 on eBay. I got a GoPro, the 1040 res version for $259 w/free shipping. The cameras come with a waterproof case good for 180ft. they can be configured to start filming with pushing the on button, and the battery last a good while. Just be sure to get a class 6 or above mem card. I wasted $50 on a 32G that couldn't write fast enough and lost some good footage. You probably don't need a 32G either, 16 would cover most outings.

dont get the olympus. they suck!
ive gone through five 6000's in 6 months alone.

they are about as waterproof as a ziplock bag.
one tiny bit of flexion of the housing, even from water pressure around your hand will allow water to penetrate the inside...

joke business..........
(maybe fine for mama at the community pool taking shots of the kids jumping into h20, and not having to worry about 2 drops of water getting on the lens fine....
Underwater..no good. POS. c. r. a. p.

Fuji XP10

going on it's second fishing and hooping season, it's taken a beating and still going strong. Its usually clipped to my vest or I'll clip it somewhere on the kayak......shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof & dustproof.

I have one of those two, great camera, use it for close up shots while the GoPro is for video.

Thanks for the input. At least now I have a bit of direction. I still wouldn't mind a few more reviews. You guys are awesome!
