I use a $14 Vivitar I got from K-mart for the same purpose. The majority of
photos on my web page were taken with that little green thing. It's sure
not the camera that my regular ones are, but if it gets wet, I'm only out
$15. There is a "waterproof" version of the same camera available for about
$50. >>

we just got back pictures we took with one of those things. I was so 
disappointed in the pictures. You have to get right up on whatever you are 
taking a picture of and what you frame is not what you get. It is a cheap 
camera and I think I'll never use one after I finish the most current one. 
The pictures just aren't worth the effort.
