Re: [OM] Successful Olympus order

[Chuck Norcutt]

An old friend has a waterproof Oly digital of unknown (to me) model.  I 
believe it's got to be at least 6 years old.  The friend uses it 
extensively when fishing on Cape Cod in his Hobie Kayak... like this one 
<http://www.progressivesports.com/I-315933-Hobie-Pro-Angler-14-Papaya-13-08.php?gclid=CjwKEAiA-5-kBRDylPG5096R8mASJABqEdm49DtNpY8YqPmSk2XgLbb_gDnzS8QX0GIbngpPMDN7fhoCXkzw_wcB>
He knows nothing about photography except to push the button in auto 
mode.  But he often comes back with gorgeous JPEGs... particularly early 
morning sunrises.  Since you generally don't have to paddle that Hobie 
kayak he often has both hands free to take photos.
