: I have been using a Pentax Optio W30 this year and really like it. It takes
: very good pictures, it turns on and off very easily and is waterproof. My
: first digital camera took terrible pictures and took about a minute to
: turn on so I told myself my next camera will be something that I know
: works well. A friend of mine had been using the W20 and loved it so I knew
: it would well for my purpose.

I've just spent 4 weeks touring BC with my brand new W30 and it's great. It's waterproof so rain, waves, sunlotion, beer etc. didn't harm it at all.
It's small, starts up fast and has aplenty different seetings. Excellent quality holiday-pictures, but the autofocus is a bit slow, so if you like action shots, go get a SLR plus u/w housing.
