Thanks for the suggestion FungiJohn.
I looked up the camera, and it does look to be really good.
Unfortunately, it isn't really designed for the conditions I will be putting it through (subzero temperatures, potential drops, in the water... although I note there is a good, if fragile, waterproof casing for the G10).
In my experience, cameras really don't like it too far below freezing (sometimes they just won't work, other times they never work again...), so this is important to me (I spend a lot of my winter outside at crazy times in all weather, and I want to be able to take snaps of animal signs, landscapes etc. - for instance, I once had a male goshawk land only a few metres from me in a blizzard. It didn't notice me, I figure due to the almost whiteout conditions, and it would have been nice to be able to at least try and take a snap with a camera that could fit in my Buffalo mountain jacket's pocket! Sure it would still be a bad picture, but would have been fun!).
Also, my wife is very keen to be able to take the camera snorkeling while we're on holiday.
(Franky, so would I - I've had so many close-encounters with cuttlefish that I would have loved to have been able to try and snap - nothing fancy, just a fun photo. I like cuttlefish!)
Any ideas?
