Anyone have any suggestions for a decent packable waterproof digital camera?
 
My wife bought me the Olympus Stylus 850 last year. Very nice camera and shock and waterproof. We used the same model earlier last year on a Carribean Cruise we went on and a friend took a bunch of underwater pics with it and it worked great, we just made sure to rinse it off with fresh water once back on the boat.
Another friend has one of the older models Olympus made with these features and he dropped it about 15 feet out of a helicopter on to rocks and it still worked.
I can't say on picture quality as I am still getting to know all the features and functions. It took me a couple years to figure our old digital camera out so I figure another year and I should have this one down too:D

I am very pleased with it. I will say, it does not take the greatest indoor pics depending on the light, but again, I am still figuring it all out.
They can be had for around $200 Cdn so I would assume online quite a bit cheaper.

Hope that helps
