Thanks for your reply! I'm not sure how important the water thing is the more I think about it. Most years (except this year) we can get away for a week in the winter to go play in the ocean somewhere warm. But that's one week. In the summer if we're out at the lake on the boat or whatever, I take my regular camera and I'm responsible enough not to drop it in the water! As for freeze-proof... it gets really cold up here but we've always been able to take our regular cameras out to unheated hockey rinks or out snowboarding or whatever and it's never an issue!
Later yesterday I was just playing around looking at how much zoom I could get in some cameras (the one thing Scott wishes was better on his camera) and I came across a Fuji S1800 on sale for $189... it's a crossover type camera with 18x zoom. I think it might be neat for some of the castles and bridges and things we will be going to in Europe! I can also play around with manual settings and figure out how to take my own photographs. The other thing that's kind of a plus is that it can take just 4 AA batteries... I'm kind of forgetful and I always forget to charge things. We will buy rechargeable batteries, but if I forget to charge them I can always just buy some batteries when I'm out.
It also seems small enough that I could fit it in my bag when I don't want to wear it around my neck.
Decisions, decisions!!! I am really lost on this!
