Digital Camera for fishing

I read a review on the Optio WP
It has no view finder and the review said that the screen was impossible to
view in sunlight.
Is this true?


It *is* dim.

My Optio WP crapped out after a year and less than 250 pictures.

I am looking for a small rugged waterproof digital camera that I can take
fishing - w some kind of zoom capacity.
What can anyone suggest ? - not too expensive.

I do not want to take my main Minolta A2 -too big

What do the rest of you use?

Thanks

Sony DSC-60U. If you can find one, they will be cheap. Good pictures, 2 mp
and can shoot underwater.

I can't imagine a lens that is good for both UW and dry land - look to
the Nikonos V and RS and the 35mm lens that supposedly was a
dual-purpose, but not really much good for either (macro excepted, but
who wants a macro-only PnS digital?). If the Sony mentioned is a
fixed-lens, I'd be skeptical.
