It has also survived countless trips into the surf zone in my PFD. The newer Pentax Optio W80 is apparently not as well thought of. I have read the picture quality is a bit wonky. Whatever you get I would highly recommend the Pedco Camera Wrap. http://www.pedcopods.com/wrap.shtml It really does its job and allows you to protect the camera yet have it out in a split second. Plus its attached to the camera so you wont lose it if in the boat. I can send you a sampling of photos if interested.
