If I had to buy one now, I'd go with the Pentax Optio WP. Small,
waterproof, & 5 megapixels. RW said he didn't lke the fact that is used
an unorthodox battery but he's retired and more likely to go to out of
the way places than I am. I fish the beaches around Los Angeles and
Santa Barbara - no problem getting batteries.

You'll have to get a proprietary battery, or recharge the one you have.
That Pentax Optio WP should work just fine for you.

I'd love to have a good waterproof digital camera, but my next major
trip is a 12-day float in Alaska, so I need backup batteries.

Lately, I've been taking many fewer photos. The photo thing was
interfering with my in-the-moment thing.
