I just purchased the Canon Powershot S300. Like many of the smaller Canon digital cameras it is available with a very good looking waterproof housing. I purchased the housing as well but have not tried it yet. The camera does a very nice job, is easy to use, very small and seems quite rugged. You can find a fairly comprehensive review of this camera at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canondigitalixus300/default.asp Someone mentioned the A20: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona20/default.asp There are similar reviews for a lot of cameras at this site. I will use the camera primarily for my website (see http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Building/SkinOnFrame/Ribs/index.html for some pictures of installing ribs in a skin on frame kayak as an example) but I have printed out hard copy. At 4" x 5" the pictures look great. Sharpness will be reduced at 8" x 10" but should still be satisfactory.
