Hey sup guys !!! haven't had time to post too much, we've been getting some nice sunny weather lately being soo beautiful & all, been doing a LOT of panfishing, also worked on some new baits, and it was also my b-day on June the 6th. As my b-day present, since my mom has been getting into photography lately, and was shopping for a new camera for me, I offered to trade her my semi-old Canon s200 elph, for a new water-sealed camera !! Just started shooting with it the other day, the cam could take underwater video w/ sound !! :) I tried it out already, now all I gotta do is take some movies of my baits lol. I'll post a couple of pics later tonight !

was checking them out at future shop today...they let you test the camera under water. I was really quite impressed. If only I had 500 bucks to blow right now :)

Been having lots of fun with it :D it has 3 main modes, Power-shot mode (for photos using digital zoom), image stabilization mode (taking shots of moving objects), and then the Scene mode, which has about 26 different shooting modes including a night-time shooting mode & 3 modes for underwater shooting modes (not including video) :) Underwater Macro for close-up shots, Underwater Wide1 for shooting a underwater portrait, Underwater Wide2 for shooting an underwater portrait with a moving object, and then there's Video. Was kinda surprised when I recieved it, was expecting it to be like at least 1.5-2 inches thick w/ the waterproof casing from what I saw in the pictures on tigerdirect, & then on those "Henry's" ad deals (its cheaper there) in the Toronto Star. For those that havent held it) its quite slim less than an inch thick, at first I was kinda worried about breaking it lol, and they somehow fitted the zoom optics into the camera casing, so theres no lense's extending out like your usual digital camera, fully enclosed. I actually went ultra-lighting the other day with it, still have to upload the pics & a vid.

took a quick water-test vid last week, wanted to see how the vid quality was (I put it on the lowest setting + to save flash memory). At first I dunked into some murky water, then I tried it in the shallow area and the quality looked great !

yeah, take one in high quality now!

i recognize that pond!
been there a couple times this year already with the ultralight and slip float setup. Landed some very decent rockbass in there. The water is crazy shallow though. Lots of dead sunfish and catfish littering the shoreline too.
Oh well...still loaded with bass, so I'm not complaining :)
