I will add to the endorsement of the Pentax WR90.  My previous camera died a
Gulf-coast death from heat and humidity.  WR90 has been going great for
several years and quite a few trips.  It is frequently in the carrying case it
came in, around my neck.  Yeah, mostly in a canoe, not my tippy Eddyline
Falcon sea kayak.  I did have it in the same location in the bow of a tandem
sea kayak in Glacier Bay Alaska, and it's made several other Alaskan trips.  






Years back, REI had a thing called a Kuban hitch (hope I'm spelling this
right) so a camera could be positioned on one's chest.  One of my friends
paddled the Grand Canyon (Colorado River) with a Nikonos camera on this rig,
under her life jacket, for the entire length of the paddle in a whitewater
kayak.  Did just fine and she had great pictures, camera always handy.  She
paddled every rapid too!  30,000 cfs.
