I'm thinking of getting an optio, or similar

2014-10-31 Thread Larry Colen
I recently started a period of intensive training in aikido. One thing that I want to do is to occasionally video my training, so that I can get some visual feedback on what I'm doing. Rather than going the GoPro route, I'm considering a Ricoh optio WG-3.

The Optio is a descent camera, but it is an outdoor camera. Image quality is very good in good light. I agree with the review-- battery life is not so good. You really should buy an extra battery, which I've done. Cheers, Christine Sent from my iPad On Oct 31, 2014, at 2:23 PM, Larry

Hi, got my white Optio I-10 today. It's the first piece of photo equipment in my life that I have purchased purely because of the look. I really like it. Many people have described it as Auto 110'ish, but when you put it together with Auto 110, the similarity is much less than expected.
