OK OK back to business, iphone and Olympus

So today I get this kool email from Olympus, this company is underated int the photo world, Canon and Nikon seam to get all the play, but ( I LUV my Canon stuff, for shooting 35mm style) but for pocket snap shots you CAN'T beat Olympus, did ya see the picts on my last blog, all with the 770SW, well now they have a newer model that is 10megapixel, and a bit more shock proof, it's the new 1030SW has a bit more features but yes more $$$ for sure, is it a must have, I say NO, get the 770sw and spend the extra on the 1G H memory card and make a $10 donotion to your local animal shelter. Now back to the cameras, the new 10meg has some sort of underwater movie mode, I'm not sure what that's about as I have done a lil underwater movie mode, now I also shot a fun "stick camera out of the truck driving at 70mph threw a rain storm" mode ! Canon/Nikon can only do that in a big bulky water housing like this I used to own one of these said water housings, but in 2004 it went floating down the Salt River in AZ without me never to be seen again :( that was for my Canon S230 pocket camera, so then we stopped at best buy and bought the new Canon S400 yippie, then 3 months later Olympus came out with the Stylus 400 it was Water Resistant, great for rain and snowboarding, that's when the luv started for Olympus ( I have to say the ladies at Cypress corp are SO very NOT friendly) but the 770sw rocks, did I say that ???? ok ok sorry.

I am posting a video of my truck rain clip for you all to pass along and make huge so get crackin ! And I will be back on the iphone story shortly.

ps. this link is our first run at having the camera on the front of my helmet, notice the traffic on a fri !

Best all around camera!

Hi All, OK, so I have not posted in a long time, I've been busy with a long list of things, including helping my friend ( I built and maintain TeamDiva.com) also update Kia's site and blog 24/7 as well as now have a second dog Named Pancho Villa that someone dumped on my street at my office. Along with my new site TopBroadcasters.com and the list is long. So I will now blog at least once a week, maybe more !

Now back to my topic, I luv this new camera I bought last year, its my replacement for the Olympus stylus 400 that served me great for many yrs ( the 400 was water resistant) the new Olympus 770sw (click the link on the lower right amazon ad to buy this kool camera) it is insane I payed over $350.00 for it at amazon, now they have it at $199.00 they now have a new version at 10meg, not really needed, anyhow back to the 770, it works great above water, under water ( 33') u can drop it, freeze it etc... The picts come out great, and I luv this thing at the beach, I really see NO reason to buy any other camera unless it's like a 35mm pro style ( Canon 40d is what most my shots at ReneBruce.com are shot with, I have used Canon Cameras since 1982 I luv the brand). The 770 fits in your pocket and is easy to use(about the size of a pack of smokes, NO kidding) you can even put this baby in your purse or back pocket and not worry about the LCD screen being broke, this baby is TOUGH!!! I can't tell ya enough GO BUY this unit NOW, also only get the 1gig H card, NOT the M series. if you go look at Kiapet.com you will notice most of my picts are shot with this unit as are the videos! I give this 11 Stars !
