Olympus Stylus 720 SW

OK, I broke down and bought a new point and shoot camera today. Its the Olympus Stylus 720 SW. Water proof to 10 feet and shock proof to 5 feet, 7.1 megapixel 3x optical zoom. I've uploaded a picture of my work truck, and wow, is the file huge (1.55MB). Click on it to see the full sized Photo. I have a 21" monitor with 1600x1200 resolution and its bigger than my monitor can display without scrolling.

I was researching cameras online and got so confused I decided to go down to the local small town camera shop and talk with them. This is the camera they recommended for my line of work, General Contracting.

I'll post some more pics in the weeks/months to come and let you folks know how the camera works out.

I paid just over $400.00 with a 512MB XD card and taxes. This is at the upper range of prices for this camera, but part of the money supports the local economy, so I'm OK with spending that much.
