Kirby, Not sure if I agree with the above. 3.2 MP is more than enough to take great photos providing the camera is high-quality. According to all that I've read about digital photography, unless the aim is to produce prints larger than 8"x10", an increase in pixel resolution is hardly discernible. Of course I'm not a professional phtographer. I have been using a Canon A70 w/ marine case while kayaking throughout the summer. I have found the quality of pictures to be excellent. The camera has been easy to use and comes with quality software. It also offers a great deal of manual control, although I must admit that I most often use the automatic setting. The one drawback of this camera for paddling is size. It's a bit larger than the smaller compacts and when inside the marine case just doesn't seem to fit anywhere. That said, another size factor to consider is that some people are just not able to comfortably use the smallest of the cameras (especially while paddling.) The Canon S400 is an excellent camera but I didn't feel comfortable holding it in one hand (which was one of my criteria). The Canon marine cases can be had for less than $200.
