Pentax make a weather proof camera called the Espio 105W (IQzoom 105W in the States). If I remember corectly it has a zoom range of 38-105mm at about f4.5. According to the sales brochure it is waterproof enough that you can wash it under running tap water. So I am sure that it would be good for sea kayakers. In New Zealand many white water kayakers are using them. I think the Pentax site is http://www.pentax.com The site has a bit of infor on this camera.
