You might check out the links above.  I opted for a Nikon coolPix 990, but
that may be more camera than you need.  The cases for these cameras are
pretty spendy often $300 +, an inexpensive alternative is the Ewa (
http://www.ewa-marine.de/home.htm ) it is still often over $100.  If you
want something small the Elph digital by Canon is excellent and Canon makes
waterproof housing for them.  Also Olympus makes good cameras and they have
waterproof housings (check out the wet pixel site for pictures).  Steves
digicam has great unbiased reviews of many cameras.  If you want to check in
with a usenet group that focuses on digital cameras check out
rec.photo.digital There are many professional photographers who post on the
site and lots of different camera users. I haven't noticed any flame wars
just great information. If your browser isn't configured for usenet groups
then check them out via Google groups. http://groups.google.com/ You can
post to the group using google.  Your camera can cook in a case so I keep
mine in my deck back. Good luck with your choice.  One last tip if you have
a Costco nearby they have Photoshop Elements on sale for $74 and a rebate
coupon for $30.  Great deal!  Photoshop elements will allow you to stitch
together panorama shots, do touch-ups, remove red eye... etc. It is a great
addition to your camera.  Go digital and post your pictures on the web we
want to see them! If you can afford it try to get a camera in at least the 2
megapixel range. The resolution on the pictures is much better. -- MZ
