Hey IG... what a great post. I am hoping to get around to doing a full tour of the lake with my camera. You gave great advice to just sold about purchasing a camera. I might add that you should try to do lots of research on the perfect camera for you and your needs. I just bought my last camera about two weeks ago (the lcd monitor on my previous camera broke after only 8 months

) Doing the research was tedious....but it was worth it in the end.
