It's something I'm looking at again since no. 1 son said mine was too slow. The one I currently am fancying is an Olympus D760 (£90 from Jessops) - wide angle to 12½ x tele., 16 megapixels, but best of all a METAL casing! Makes it a bit heavier, but it may stand up to the rigours of being chucked in the fishing bag amongst your leads, buzzers and pike traces.
It's worth noting that most of the Fujifilm, Lumix and Olympus are abotu the same now, IMO they come out of the same factory they're so similar.
For delayed and self-timer shots, you can't beat these little devices -
Just over a tenner off ebay and I don't know any major camera company that does them. Some people will warn that they can blow your camera (nice
) but so far it has not done that to mine. You can put in how many shots, how long between each shot and how long the shutter should stay open for. So you can programme it up with a delay to start giving you time to get your fish, pose, and snap, snap, snap... as many times as you like. They probably only work with DSLRs and you have to buy one to match the make.
