I use my Pentax IQZoom WR90 all the time in class IV rivers. I just tuck it into my lifevest, and the camera and myself have survived some good thrashings and many intense play sessions. No leaks yet, although I make sure to leave it in the off position whenever I think it has a chance to get wet. My only complaint is that it is a little bit bulky in the lifevest. Isn't there a new version that has a better zoom and has less bulk?
