Canon WP-1

It has been awhile since I pulled out the Canon WP-1. It’s not the first camera I think of when it comes to fitting in but that’s not true if your going to the beach there it is right at home. It’s toy like appearance hides the fact that it has a fantastic 32mm f3.5 lens. 32mm as I’ve said before sits nicely between 28 and 35mm really giving the best of both worlds just like the Pentax UC1. The big controls designed to be used with gloves or underwater are great and the viewfinder is big and because it is designed to be used with a snorkel mask allows you to hold it away from your eye when composing which is a nice change from the jam it against your face and try to find the light through the tunnel view of many cameras.
