Its submersible to 5 feet, 6.1 MP, TV-quality MPEG-4 video, 5x optical zoom, flip out 2.5 inch LCD, and anti-shake image stabilizer. They say next month for 499, but I found it at Amazon.cm for 399. Seems like a great deal to me. They make a Hi-Def cam in the same frame. I wish they would make that one waterproof as well.

Grizz check out the Sony Cybershot H7, it's what I bought and I like it a lot (unbelievable Zoom) and can be bought as low as $300.....
The Sony Cybershot H7 is a marvelous update on one of the most popular extended zoom cameras ever, the Sony H2. This model features a capable 8.1 megapixel sensor and outrageously long 15x zoom, second only to the 18x Olympus SP-550UZ in zooming potential. The H7 is a slightly cheaper version of the Sony H9, but the only major difference is that the H7 has a 2.5-inch LCD as opposed to the H9's 3.0-inch display.

I went and checked out the sony, and it is a nice camera, but the main reason I posted about the sanyo is that its waterproof along with all the cool news stuff digi's do, and for a fisherman I think that will extend the life of a camera quite a bit. I have had some seriously ridiculous customers service issues with sony with laptop computers, and I'm a bit leary of the company for that reason, though I know they do make some excellent stuff.
