[pct-l] cameras?

[dude@xxxxxxxxxxx (dude)]

I HIGHLY recomend any of the Olympus Stylus models.  I hiked from
lake tahoe to Mt Whitney in 98 and used that camera.  the pics that
it took turned out great. You can see them at these URLs (but the
scanner that I used was horrible so it will not do the camera
justice):

I also passed two diffrent people also using the Olympus Stylus who
both dropped their cameras in shallow streams and said that even
after doing that, it still took great pics.

Lastly, when I was on the summit of whitney, there were two
professional photographers up there that lugged like 40lbs of
photography gear each to the summit and they said that if you have to
use a point and shoot, that the Olympus was a good one.

Hope that helps.

peace,
dude
