This has probably been asked before. What are the current choices,
apart from the Pentax Optio WPi and WP10 (the latter just released),
with similar specifications please ? Some bushwalking trips are not
really suitable (weight and/or weather wise) for my Canon 350D plus a
couple of lenses.....

Thanks.

The Nikon Coolpix S2 is another option rated for
underwater/weatherproof... (underwater to 1.5 meters)...

I'd opt for the Nikon over the Pentax.

All I can read is :
".....Splashproof Metal body design: water resistance for great
photography even in inclement weather"
