[pct-l] Olympus Stylus Digital Camera

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

great pics, Paul!  thanks for sharing.  The look better than many of my 
pics taken with the Olympus Camedia 2040, which is supposed to be a 
step up.

Good to know that the digital version of the stylus is still tough like 
the film version. My film Stylus is nearly unbreakable.; I've had it 
since 1997.  In 1998, I passed two people on the PCT who both say they 
dropped their Styluses into streams and reached in quickly to grab them 
and they both reported that the cameras suffered no ill effects 
whatsoever from the submersion!  The weatherproof stylus is definitely 
a great camera for hiking.

peace,
dude
