The board has been in for nose surgery this week and I've been torturing myself watching everyone else having a blast down at Scarborough. I took a few photos yesterday and they're posted at http://members.iinet.com.au/~benandjac/public/scarb_beach/ if anyone wants to take a look - there might be one of you there!

Cool pictures. I would love to know what equipment you used as well

The picture size is quite small (average 100k) so I assume you weren't using the best quality on yr camera?

Ok cool. Yeah my sony is 7.1 mp but the resulting images are really big i.e 5mb + so too big for web and email.

Yeah the quality is fantastic. They are stainless steel and bullet proof, and the photo quality is great for a compact camera. I definitely recommend it.

I've got the Pentax Optio WP, same deal, 5Megapixel, stainless housing, waterproof to a couple of metres, takes a good shot. Only thing is the video isn't that great if you're zoomed in, but hey everything else is great

Hey Zed,
Once you download your pictures to your computer, open them up in an image editing program, crop them so you get only the bits you want, and then resize them to be something more like 800 x 600. This reduces the file size so you can email them or stick them on the web.
