I like my Canon cameras. Currently still on my S5is. Screen could be bigger but it also still has an optical viewfinder for those bright days when you can't see any screen. Like the 12x mechanical zoom too. I too would like to have the viewfinder and would like to see a 6" screen , that might be asking for a bit too much .

I have to do some checking and see what the P&S types do and don't do . I want to have some control of the settings .

Find anything except the slurry mud and smoked salmon ? No salmon this trip , that is about 60 miles to the west . Brought home the usuals , fossils , unikite , jasper , quartz , rhyolite , handful of really small agates and a bunch of other stuff . Little bit of small driftwood for a few projects . Oh , and a bunch of black rocks that I used to think were just plain old basalt , but this is a different rock that takes a super polish . Maybe just highly silicified ? Rocks are still sitting in buckets so no pics .

Rich. Picked up a disposable one for $200 I always drop them off a horse, run over them or they get stepped on in a bar so I don't go the high dollar big hassle ones. The latest is a canon power shot. 360 hs. 12 X zoom and takes the pictures that work for my needs. Fits in my pocket and if I break it don't break the bank. Easy to use and takes decent rock pictures. wigglinrocks coloradocliff , I was looking at the canon along with a list of others . I am in no hurry , just looking for now . By the time I make up my mind all the major companies will have a few new models available . And the head scratching will continue . Not sure if I want to be locked into auto settings and haven't really looked into what settings the p&s cameras have

my wife has a Nikon d3100 and a canon rebel t3 damned if I can take a good closeup with either of them. could just be me and my total ineptness with cameras. Both of those are decent cameras . A good macro lens might help you out , I don't have one either . A lot of my worst photos happen after I haven't used the camera for awhile and I let the auto settings take the photo .

I miss the trips to Lake Superior. My in laws lived in Washburn, near West End Park. Used to walk down there a lot. Many nice finds there and by Port Wing and Corny. That little gas station in Port Wing has the best smoked salmon ever , the fish market in Corny runs a tight second . I worked up around Bayfield county for a couple years and fell in love with the area and the lake .

jamesp , I am only looking for something on the lines of that Olympus for smaller size and easier to take along . Just something for a quick pic or two . If I set out on a waterfall adventure or outing like that , I have a DSLR I take with .

Glad you at least took a few pictures on Monday. Beautiful little waterfall. Was our first trip up on Sunday this year and I got all rock crazed and said to heck with the pictures .
