Hey all, I do a lot of backpacking, kayaking, bicycling, etc. I was wondering what a good all around camera would be. I don't care if it is a point and shoot or something more professional. I just want some feedback!

Answer
Depends on the trip but I have a Nikon N65 35mm but when the trail gets rough or if theres water in the equation- storms, kayaking, fishing etc or if I`m rock climbing I go to my Olympus 770SW. Its lightweight takes great pics and is waterproof upto 33ft, freeze proof to 14*F, crush proof to 160 or 180 lbs can easily take a 6 foot drop on a hard surface. Its small enough to fit a shirt breast pocket but isnt difficult to find the buttons. They replaced the 770sw (which is 7.1 mega pixels) with the slightly more bulkier 1030SW (10.1 mega pixels, Crush proof to 220lbs)

What is the best digital camera for being waterproof and not too expensive?

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera for spring/summer time. i don't need it to do lots of fancy things, i don't want it to be huge, small enough for a purse or small compartment in a backpack. i need it to be waterproof because I'll be taking it camping. just takes nice pictures outdoors and indoors and a little video action on it, in a max about $300/$350 range.
