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.

Cheers,

Rob G
