I used a Canon Power shot 610



Theonly times ive used it on the snow, its been dark, and i dropped it the other day and cracked the shell, or the camera, idk, what ever, but bottom line, i wont be using it on the snow any more, for fear of getting water inside of it, but ive only had it since christmas and have taken 3500 + pictures already.

The super small Canon's seem to be really good, I've got an old school Fuji 2 MP model. The Nikon D50 SLR will be way better than any camera any UT summit pics were taken with.

I want the camera that Lori has! It enables you to take pics of 2 or 3 resorts at the same time from within the lodge. :wink: Ok Afro, lock it.

I keep it simple, Canon A410, $134.00. Shoots video and sequence shots also. Takes easy rechargable AA. Uses SD Card memory. Somewhat easy to handle with gloves on. I think we had more Canons on the trip than any other brand.



Also, i am going to cut the index finger tip off an old set of gloves for pic taking.

d50 is nice, you gotta know how to use it to get the most out of it though for action shots.



i have taken my canon elan 7e (film slr) on the slopes a few times to get some non point and shoot random slope pictures, but its such a hassle with a backpack, and bringing it back to the car in the rain (like this saturday) not to mention complete shadiness at resorts.
