Now that's in the ballpark of what I'm looking for, Bruce.

Ideally, I'd like to keep it around $175-250 - and I'm partial to the digital recorders, so I don't have to fuss with dvd's or anything. $450 would be the MAX, before I start going into convulsions and getting diarrhea at the thought of spending too much money.

Is there a certain feature or brand that has a better design as far as weather resistance goes? Now, I'm not planning on soaking it in a downpour, but I know I'll have it out on some humid days - and there will come a time where it will be exposed to some type of light moisture.
