Yes i took a Sanyo Xacti (forget the model number but its the
waterproof one). Took a few photos and vids that will be up on
flickr in a few hours once I go into town. Not feeling too bad
today, ive slept off most of the aches and pains.
The photo any video quality are fine when the lense is clean,
some of the later shots have got water drops on the lense and you
can see the light shining through them. The mic is very sensative
though and picks up wind very easily. But for a compact camcorder
that can be used out in the rain, snow, under water I can put up
with its audio. It was worth the price just to be able to capture a
video of my dad when he fell in the sea and was struggling to get
back in the kayak, though I promised him I wouldnt upload that clip
:)

Sounds great! Did you bring a waterproof cam to take some pictures?

Very cool! I always wondered how good those Xacti cameras are. They look like pretty nice video cams.
