Had a B-Day this past week and the wife bougt me a digital camera. It is the pentax optio W20; it is water, dust and dirt proof, is the size of a thick credit card and still has high quality ability at 7 megapixels.
I had always talked about something like this as I hate lugging our larger cameras with me hunting and fishing and constantly worry about moisture. This seems to be a perfect solution you can snorkel with this thing for cripes sake and take pics underwater. It is small enough to fit in my breast pocket and light enough not to be a burden on packing trips. You can even get blood on it and just rinse it clean.
Considering the number of times I fall in the drink during the average fishing or hunting trip and the amount of hunting I do in the rain this should be a life saver.
I have other slr cameras for fine camera work but they just are to heavy and not rugged enough, this optio is all the camera I will ever need during a hunt and then some!
