Preferred camera??

[RockRobster]

I have been reading everyone’s trip reports for a while now and absolutely LOVE all the pictures you guys post. My question is, to capture the sunsets and clear water and all the beauty Negril has to offer, what kind of camera are you using? I'm heading to Negril in June, and need a decent camera. I am just looking for a point and shoot. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Even better, if you could post a picture of something you used the camera for. Not looking to spend an arm and a leg, just need something decent.

Thanks in advance everyone

If you don't care about anything other than daylight shooting, go with a point/shoot with a high quality lens like a Zeiss. Optical zoom is all important, digital zoom is worthless for great shots. The faster the lens, i.e the lower the f-stop potential, the better the quality, in general.

My new toy rocks. Olympus T-810. But it is a bit specialized........I mean...do I really need a GPS in my 10m waterproof camera?

You just touched on my favorite feature of my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5; the GPS. I love being able to look back at exactly where my pics were taken. It's only 10.2 MP, but that's enough for me...
