NYCkayaker How Do You Keep Your Cameras Dry?

[Dennis Wiener]

Check out the Panasonic Lumix series of cameras. Some models have 10x 
optical zoom for the 35mm equivalent of I believe a 40mm - 400mm lens. 
They have IS and also take great full frame videos. Ans they have Leica 
optics. Other than that digital SLR's have dropped quite a bit in price, 
but a good long lens still costs an arm and a leg. Just remember its not 
a question of if you will flood your camera, but rather when.
