I probably spent more than I should have on my camera considering how much I use it..


That is why I'll probably get the "Micam underwater camera" for $68 from big-W.. and that's only because there's no way i'm sticking my phone in the tank, no matter how many bags or tupperware containers it's in..

Even cheaper than the Olympus is the Panasonic FT10 which is also an underwater camera

But no GPS and compass, such important things in a camera.... :geek:

Our Barra don;t really have any corners to hide in especially when they are so open in the tank there, and with so many visitors..

definitely Geo-Tagging is the way to Go..

I actually wished I had done that while touring America..

Then you can get a real feel for where I have been..

Arent there issues with geotagging where you can upload a pic of the front of your house and people can find out exactly where you live?
Or if you upload a pic of your kid blowing out birthday candles on their cake etc?
