I just bought a Pentax 43WR. The perfect camera for the sailor?
Background: -99 I bought a digicam with a waterproof housing (top of the line with 1.3 Mpixel!!!) The housing was safe for the camera but to big to mess around with on the boat. I used it on the boat a couple of times but then I gave up. But a waterproof small digicam this must be a big market?! I started to wait, and wait.....five years later it arrived!!!!
Waterproof to JIS7 4Mpixel, 3xoptical zoom Video: VGA(640x480) film with 30 fps until the flash card is full. 512 Mbyte is enough for 7 minutes video. Another cool feature is intervall shooting. You can set it up to take a picture ata fixed interval. The intervall is adjustable between 10 secons to hours, no computer needed for that feature! Attach the camera on the boat with some cool angle, enable the intervall shooting and start sailing. 512 Mbytes will store 500 pictures with 4Mpixel resolution. One picture every 10 second will last for 1.5 hours.
