You get much better and more interesting pics than the typical bike stopped at scenic point shots you see so often. Once you get into it you can really capture that sense of movement and flow that is the bicycle experience. Of course as you suggest you will get a fair number of bad pics in the mix - since you'll almost never be able to compose a shot.<BR/><BR/>I refer to myself as the point and shoot commando! If you want to see some of my portfolio..hahaha...just check the first January entires of my Vik Approved blog. And if you've never cycled toured Baja - I give it my 10 stars of fun Vik Approved rating.<BR/><BR/>I recommend using the nicer camera when you can. The higher quality pics are well worth some extra hassle, but obviously the pen cam has its place as well.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your rambling ride.<BR/><BR/>Keep keepin' it real on two wheels...=-)Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-68618102105690846712007-08-05T14:47:00.000-07:002007-08-05T14:47:00.000-07:00Yep, I broke my pencam just as I rolled into Olymp...Yep, I broke my pencam just as I rolled into Olympia (see previous post). These were shot with my bigger, nicer $100 Kodak C433. The pencam has the advantage of being really cheap and always at hand but the Kodak shoots much better pics. Now that my pencam is dead, I have take the "not give a damn and just shoot" attitude over to the Kodak. I think that's the key.<BR/><BR/>KentKent Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607372827627527450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-48794586517250725412007-08-05T14:24:00.000-07:002007-08-05T14:24:00.000-07:00Hey Kent - are you using your other digi cam for t...Hey Kent - are you using your other digi cam for these pics? They seem a lot nicer.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking of scoring a pencam and seeing what I think of the results. I'm not sure I'll be happy with the quality, but then again I suppose in many situations it would be a pencam picture or no picture at all.<BR/><BR/>So far I haven't found a Canadian source for these pencams and given the price it isn't worth ordering from the US and dealing with customs.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rest of your trip!<BR/><BR/>VikVikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.com
