I can't complain about the ruggedness of my Optio W10. It's been beaten and battered dangling from my paddle in surf and rocks. With most my shooting, I wouldn't even try to use a viewfinder anyway, but It would be nice to be able to see the screen better. But in my opinion, nothing's going to get better till they increase the chip size. The W20 increasing pixels is a waste in my opinion and what good is iso 1600 when I don't even like to use 400. I can live with the soft image, but I'd like something that could handle lower light conditions without a complete compromise in image quality. I try to make the best of what it does well. Sadly, my digital Canon's just too big and expensive to be hauling around on my kayak in a sandwich bag.
