Didn't you have a panasonic tough camera? Or was it an Olympus? I have a Panasonic and I love it. Which reminds me... I need to find my damn charger for it.

Z knocked it out of the park. She got 4 or 5 of those for free!!! :) One of them we lined the inside with some paper to diffuse the light a bit. :)

What headlights? Last time someone posted one - I bought one of the same. :)

I do the older model TS3 and love it also and I had that TS6 (16m wifi) in my cart for a long time and noticed it dropped to $180 plus I ordered 2 new of those clone batts also, never had a problem with extra batts with the other camera. I pick up three Samsung 64m SD cards also for like $17 each

And I really shouldn't say free 'cause she is on saving websites ALL the time. :)

Campsaver is doing 50% off one item per day leading up to Christmas. Yesterdays deal was a Big Agnes "Editors backpacking tent of the year" for 50% off (I forget the model). Today it's one of those typically overpriced Helinox chairs for 50% off wich may make it worth it for some to buy.

I have an Olympus tough camera that I found for free in the river. I've taken it sailing and it's been in the Caribbean ocean a dozen times or more when I snorkel.

Likes: it's tough and takes decent photos. At one point in time the low light photos were incredible!
Dislikes: It takes a weird random connector to charge or sync to the computer.

However, on my honeymoon to Palm Island, I think I dove too deep with it or something since it seems to be acting up (screen is dimmer than I remember and lowlight photos suck now). I might get the newest model for the next vacation.

But hey! It was free and brand spanking new when I found it floating down the river! :)

Tracey is planning on coming to Jambo this year. She asked if we could bring the big tent (6). I said no, space is at a premium. 3 person tent is too small for her. Guess I'll be getting a 4 person tent after Christmas.

Sweet look for a deal like that Hab4 I got a few years back.

What about a pop-up tent? I think I paid $125 for mine and it gives us a nice 10x10 room/tent.

I have been impressed with it. We had a standard 10x10 pop up at Jambo a few years ago; but upgraded to a 13x13 pop-up this last summer. The legs are still 10x10 so it will be almost like a cabin. lol Whatever it takes to make my wife comfortable enough to go camping is fine by me.

The only downside is the size of the ez up compared a tent, space is a valuable commodity when packing the truck and or keeping the wife happy....

I carry a screen shelter that fits over picnic table, hardly use it but when the flys are bad at certain parks it's very useful but it is about the same size of a Ez up.
