[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 363541, member: 13599"] fellow shutter bugs - I have been involved in photography in one form or another since 1964. I have either used or owned myself some very fine film cameras. Now that we are in the Digital Age, I am slowing gaining the confidence of these little Point n Shoot models. I have given all my film cameras to my daughter for her kids to have when they grow up. LOL about a 30 pound box of misc. lenses, film backs, bodies, etc. all in very good condition. ok now the issue at hand. I have just destroyed my 3rd Point n Shoot in less than two years by either dropping it or dunking it in the drink. I really don't have $300 for a new GoPro but I would really love to have something that will survive and occasional drop on concrete or a quick dunk in water. I see these "Sports Camera" things on e-bay from China that are supposedly a GoPro clone for $75. Does anyone have a particular water/shock-resistant model that they are happy with ?? Not interested in any kind of WiFi capability. Thanks [/QUOTE]
