I take mine with on nearly every extended trip. It rides in my PFD's back pocket with the neck strap looped around my PFD strap (so it won't sink). If I'm in salt water, I pour fresh water over it when I get home. In fresh water, I just let it dry off, then open it and remove the film. I roll (for play) a lot, and don't worry about the camera. It's been in surf twice, although I've never actually taken pictures while in the surf zone, the camera was still exposed (in the pocket or tucked inside the front panel of the PFD. I sometimes tuck it behind the mesh panel in the side of my Lotus Rio Grande. Needless to say, I'm super happy with its service without one complaint. >I am pretty happy with the image quality and exposures it gives. I am so far ambivalent about its image quality and exposure. Any tricks--what are you doing with yours that is giving you good exposure control? What films do you use. Avoid full telephoto? Turn off auto focus?
