Ive seen quite a few people post pics of their catches on the river and I was just wondering what camera everyone uses? Im in the market for a digital to use on the river. I am looking at the Olympus 725 SW as I can get one factory refurbished on ebay for $150. It would only be used for "fish pics" as I have a canon 10d that I use the rest of the time. As far as I can see its the best cheap solution for me.
