I grabbed the 1400 tonight, the 1400 seemed to make the most sense.

Underwater I'll ignore the optical zoom unless lighting conditions can handle it,

the digital zoom will be turned off.

On land the 1400s optical zoom will be useful, and since the 2000 had no optical zoom at all, it couldn't be considered a decent land camera.

Then the dive shop was more than gracious with add ons, free additional charger and then 3 more additional battery's for a total of 4 battery's, and then even a 16 mg SD card.

It's a close out model, but were talking 50% off here.

In a few weeks upon return from this dive trip, I'll try to post a few pics.

Appreciate all the help Guys. Ken.
