Nissan Stainless (now Thermos i guess), best thermos I've ever owned... comes in small, med, and large sizes. Used for cold days with the thermos often out in the weather.. and I mean COLD... used from Mid Nov -> end of Jan... lost it somewhere on the cache river in 2003, coffee is probably still ho...

I'd stay away from the Olympus. Review in thread above.

I built a home-made unit with a pair of large mower tires (the large rear spoke jobbies)... to wheel my 17ft Alum. Ouachita Square transom from the parking lot at the dam for lake conway into Bell Slough, self destructed on the third put in... granted the canoe had several shotguns, a couple dozzen ...

My Olympus SW720 Failed, major water inside the camera, never taken below 3ft, 99% in the pool shots. But even more troubling, catastrophic failure of 3 pelican cases on my last Rockport run. I rolled and had to do a wet exit. I had my D70 70-200mm 2.8 HSM, 400mm 5.6, iPhone, Sony UX180 and associat...

For Memory I shoot 1GB and 2GB Compact Flash in my nikon. Some folks will go with larger capacity, but I like having more than one piece of media to record on.. just in-case something happens to one. Write Speed on the card is critical for newer cameras. For example a 1st Generation Nikon D70 can us...

I would consider my photography skill level as highly advanced (IMHO). I shoot NIKON DSLR's and shot NIKON, Canon, MINOLTA and RICOH before digital. I've owned several point and shoot digital cameras, High End Sony and Canon products. The Olympus 7xx SW series are indeed waterproof. I tested down to...
