Im a Fly Fishing Guide, so I needed something that would fit in my vest pocket to keep my website up to date, durable, and hold up to getting caught in the rain, falling in the river chasing a big Brown (been known to do this a time or 2), or even just droping it in the river taking a picture, yet still take a good quality picture.
After some looking around I ended up with the Pentax Optio W20. It's a 7.0 MP, 3X optical zoom and water proof to 1.5 meters for 30 min. An Awesome little camera that can be found on the Internet for around 200.00.
I also have a Kodak Easy Share ZD710, 7.1 MP, 10X Zoom, I keep under the rowers seat in the drift boat. Very user frindly and sells for around 180.00.
