Thought I would share this with you, I've been looking for a cheap digital camera for the yak, didn't want to spend much as I already have a nice camera which I wont take afloat, just want something to take fishy snaps with. Rob n Dave suggested an Olympus model they use but I didn't want to spend that much, trolling around I found this on Ebuyer and if you select 2/3 day delivery you get the whole thing for less than £40. Plus what I like is that it has a self timer for when you are out alone. (£55 on Ebay)
