rburgoss, how do you carry the Optio on the bike? Would like to have it near the handlebars in a bag. Haven't found a good bag yet. Took the Pana to Tunnel Hill (on mountain bike) and its a pain to stop, take the Camelbak off, dig into its pocket for the camera and then reverse all the above to ride. Need a P&S eveready case of some kind. Friend had same problem with his P&S. Gorilla pod looks interesting. Have to check out the one at the store.
thanks
barondla (legs are sore today)
PS my K2 water bladder actually sprung a leak this morning before leaving the house

. Had to take the Camelbak. Never trust a non waterproof camera with a bladder.
