I've had the Olympus W10 (great) and have the W60 (not so great). The 60 doesn't seem to measure the light well and adjust. I attach two floats (used to help you not lose your keys) to the camera so that it floats (since it doesn't float without some help). Often sits in a pocket on my spray skit. Occasionally attached with my paddle leash. If I need the paddle leash for the paddle, conditions aren't ripe to be taking pictures. I'll be interested to hear what you get and how you like it.
