Camera for MTB riders?
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
If you're looking for a go anywhere camera for when you're out on the trails, this sounds quiet promising:

A compact, lightweight, water and dust-resistant, wide-angle, 5x zoom digital camera featuring enhanced shock resistance for outdoor use.
Doesn't look like it has a built in lens cover, which is odd, and as Gizmodo put it:
Does a waterproof and dust-proof camera really have to be as fugly as this?

"Put a point-n-shoot in a zip lock bag and you have an underwater camera that A) costs less B) can go deeper and C) still looks better than the G600."

Go on Rob you know you want to
I tend to take this, in a toploader strapped to my hip
Gets you
I take the P&S with me on rides, not yet willing to pack the D300 although after seeing your shots I may have to reconsider.
BTW, Is that a D200 with an 18-200mm?
Cheers, Mark
Yes it is, funny enough I got the pic from the nikon site. I have the 18-200 but usually go with the 35-70 for the macro mode, for those flower shots... I've recently purchased the D3, but I think it will be the D200 that goes on rides.
Jeez, I thought my D300 was impressive but a D3...that's smokin! but on the bike, nah, don't think so. That things big.
Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers, Mark
Pentax are getting in on the water/dust proof scene:

Doesn't say that it's shockproof though, which is a must for MTB.
