Walkin' around camera

After I drowned my Cannon digital in the Wenaha RIver, I started to consider the virtues of a 'waterproof' digital pocket camera. After a very brief review of the options available, I bought an Olympus Stylus Tough-8010. The picture quality is not likely to be quite what the Canon offered, but the small size and ruggedness will be much appreciated on my walks.
This was shot yesterday - the Fox C grade with two valley quail taken on BLM ground on the Eastern side of the Sacramento River.

    Love that side-by-side...and that brace of birds!

    You'll be mighty impressed with the underwater shots and video as well.

    Being a photographer, I am always interested in camera reviews. When you said,"This was 'shot' yesterday", did you mean you shot the birds, or you shot the picture with the new Olympus? Nice gun and birds, but nice pic too. Good quality.

    Yes to both - shot the birds, then the picture.
