What's your favourite fishing camera and why? I think this is a bit like fishing tackle, we all have our personal thoughts ........

I like my old Nikon D50, it's heavy to carry around, but I just love using it

I also have a GoPro for video stuff, but haven't used this much yet

Cheers

My Lumix G series. Super compact and light but with all the advantages of a DSLR.

hey Mike,
to me, a fishing camera has to be waterproof and small. not waterproof and big stays in the car...
i've had this for years. it's smaller than a pack of fags, because of the Zeis lens it takes pro-quality pics. just about any of my fishing and fly pics on the Cobra have been taken with this. i couldn't recommend it more.
only one issue with it, longer lens settings degrade image quality quite a a bit but that's normal for a zoom that can't extend.
i've read that the newer models are even better !

I like the Canon 7D most of the time. I've had several WP Point and Shoot cameras. Currently the Canon D20. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5/FT5 is another top WP Point and Shoot.

I have recently got a Nikon D32 for my fishing. Most of my fishing is reservoir fishing from boats so it sits nicely in my tackle box if i need it!
Fed up using a camera phone and spoiling great shots!

I've got the same Sony one as Marc. Works great. Fits in your pocket and if you're really worried about dropping it then a long lanyard is what you need. Great bit of kit.

Canon ixus 70 - it's old now, and replacement value is £40 or so - in other words, it's expendable, and it's no disaster if it  gets a soaking. Keep mine on lanyard, looped around neck or a D-ring.

Key feature - small, light-ish, and can more or less be operated single-handed

i had a cracking wee sony hx5 but sold it this summer...

my intention was to get the canon 650d out more when fishing, but it just isnt practical and i rarely did! Next season i intent to stick it in a small backpack as i missed so many great photos this year.

[Mike Barrio]

Just dug out my old Fuji FinePix S5600, I used to get some good photos with this, it's light, it has 10X optical zoom and can do reasonable video too ...... only to discover that I left the AA batteries in it what a mess will have to have a go at the corrosion with some emery paper to see if I can save it from the bin.

Don't you just hate cameras that use AA batteries

Cheers

[Marc Fauvet]

good on you for blaming the batteries...   

try a pencil eraser 

[Mike Barrio]

     ....... will give that a go Marc, the contacts are beyond green, it is more like white sandy stuff

Cheers
Mike

[Mike Barrio]

Beware ..... batteries might be eating your camera!

[Barry Robertson]

Is there a thread on here for just fishing photos??

No Baz ...... feel free to start one in the main discussion section

that might need a little more than just an eraser, Mike 
try vinegar like this and it should be as good as new
