i dont leave home without it! though, my treestand critter pics are limited...didnt realize i COULD get away with using a camera from my stand till late this season....now i keep it in my jacket pocket so its always handy..

for a durable camera, check out the Olympus Stylus SW line. i got a 790SW for Christmas and it takes nice pictures and has more features than i can shake a stick at for different photo options etc...when i learn to use it to its full potential, it aughta take magazine photos...already takes good pics though...the SW is shockproof and waterproof. the camera is nice sized (IMO) and the battery pack seems to last forever. i charged mine Christmas day and been using it off and on ever since and havent had to charge it...took ~100 pics and been in my jean pocket or huntin coat pocket or truck since...from freezing cold to warm, to bouncing on the truck seat, uneffected...

i'll try to remember to post some of my favorites, and some i took with the SW when i get a chance...maybe tonite when i get back to school....
