Thx Tozo, am in the mkt for a new inexpensive camera, see my thread in "Climbing Gear" forum. Will certainly consider your recommendation.

Incidentally I saw in your Panther Gorge TR that you went over Lower Wolf Jaws -- next time you're in that area consider climbing Wolf Jaws via the Benny's Brook slide, a really fun easy slide climb (third class) from Johns Brook that is a great alternative to the trail. Did that route about 2 weeks ago, put a short tr & pics here. I realize you weren't really looking to climb the peak at all...
