My Nikon Coolpix S210 shit the bed on me after a few months. I have no idea whats wrong with it. The viewfinder (scree) is black. It will display the pictures on the card...but when you try to take a pic the pic is black.

Oh okay, you know that it takes still pics as well and even has a mode that takes either 1 pic every 5 sec or 5 pics every 10 secs or something like that. And of course you don't have to buy the "wide"... just a thought.

I put my GoPro wrist camera (retails about $120 from REI) on the front of my road bike and set it to every 5 seconds. Here are some pics from a triathlon I did with it set on every 5 seconds. Not the greatest pictures but works well for what I want.

Gotcha, so you're not impressed with the GoPro...

Hey, I've sniffed around and i think that you should get the Stylus Tough 8000,

"Operate picture playback, shadow adjustment, flash mode and more just by tapping the top, back and sides of the camera. Tap Control is ideal for underwater use or when wearing gloves."

"A 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom captures even more of the subject into each shot. The lens does not protrude from its body so it is further protected from harsh conditions."

For $360

Or the Sylus Tough 6000 for $280.

There you go!
