Waterproof/resistance point and shoot digital camera

[Chris Surtees]

Looking at buying a WP/R digital camera and was curious who has one and what they think of it. Please let me know which brand and model you are using.

Interested in this type of camera since I soaked my last one on accident.

Thanks,
Chris

I like my Pentax Optio WPI.  There's a newer model out now, W30 I think.  Very compact, nice pics.  Battery life is not all that I expected.  Keep the flash off most of the time helps out.  I'd buy another one if anything ever happened to the one I have.

Chris,
I have an Olympus Stylus SW and really like it. Here is a link so you can decide for yourself.

Thanks for the info. Like the looks of the Olympus 770 SW.

I really enjoy it and the battery life had been very good. The big plus is when my kids drop the camera...it still works just fine. I've used mine in the surf without any problems BUT to be safe I washed it off with fresh water afterwords. Good luck in whatever you choose.

I've heard very good things about the Pentax Optio WP-20.
