Arthur, I often use the Minolt Vectis Weathermatic. It is waterproof to 33 feet, very sturdy and shoots fairly good photos in the APS format. It is not the kind of quality I get from my Canon EOS but it is an on the water camera that comes with a bracket that I mount to my shoulder strap on my pfd. It is best with 200 ISO film. The telephoto is very short and as such is really only useful for preshot editing. Be advised: any point and shoot, with the exception of Leica and Contax, are too slow to provide any lens speed worthy of the long telephoto's some of them are equipped with. Read the specs and see what the speed is at the outer limits of extension and you'll see what I'm talking about.
