Most anglers, at least a lot of them I meet on the river carry some sort of camera. With the technology being what it is today many of those cameras are digitals.
About two years ago, maybe a little longer I bought a Sony Cyber-shot 2.1 megapixel. At the time it offered the most pixels in a small camera for under 250 dollars. I still use this camera today and with the mini kodak photo labs at Wal-mart and Walgreens I have been able to make better pictures then my old 35 mm use to. The camera is a little bigger than most compact but not so combersome it can't be carried on the river. It has tons of features, but the biggest thing I have been pleased with is the photo quality. That is what it is all about anyway, right?
I use a 32 mb memory stick that can usually hold 36-40 pictures when I use it on its highest pixel setting. 1600x1200. It also has 3 levels of flash, and will even shoot silent MPGS. Thought those take tons of memory. It also has a macro feature that allows for taking up close pics of small objects, like flies on the river or on the vise!
This is definitely a sweetly tied Elk Hair Caddis!

Petey, I'm going to have to give a big thumbs up on this report. This area of digital photograpy has been a totally new experience for me.I had used disposable cameras for several years and I became the best on the creek for dropping them in the water or falling in with them in my pocket. I did get a Sony Cybershot --5 megapixel last year and an Aqua Pack that is waterproof to carry it in. It is opening up a whole new aspect to flyfishing. I also bought a Nikon CoolPix 3.2 megapixel camera for photographing the flies that I sell. It has been a learning experience for me that has opened many new doors. Learning to handle these new cameras is really a by product that can offer job opportunities out in the future. When combined with photographic software they can produce some of the best work that a person can ask for and a lifetime of memories. I highly recommend some of these new cameras coming onto the market right now to all fishermen.
