[quote Out4Trout][cool]Ktrout, I've heard about those Olympus tough cameras that are supposed to do better in the cold weather. How much did you pick yours up for? How many mega-pixels is it? I was thinking of getting a Blackberry soon and was just going to use that as my digital cam for a while but I don't know how it would do in the cold...[/quote]
I got the 1050sw which is the newer version. It is 10.1 megapixels with a 3x optical zoom. Another nice feature is the tap control which allows you to tap the sides of the camera to perform different functions. This is helpful when you have big gloves on and the buttons are too small to use. My previous digital camera did fine in most cold weather situations, but I had it freeze on a number of occasions. Plus I was worried it was going to get wet and be ruined. After I got a 2 gb xd card, carrying case, and a floating strap, it ran me $190.
