Suggestions for topside pocket digicam

[ronski101]

I got a Casio 1050 slimline which I use for both topside and underwater. It seems to work well in both environments.

Please note that this thread is over a year old so some models discussed have likely been replaced with newer models that may or may not be improvements.

After getting several digi snaps even slightly damp and watching them die a pitiful and pointless death I got an Olympus 770SW. I cannot say it is the best pic taker out there but it is small, can go underwater to 30 feet without a housing, can be dropped, froze and survive--something about 98% of digital cameras cannot do and just about 100% of cell phones cannot do either--live in the real world.
