I need a new digital camera. What do you all recomend. It needs to be pocket size with a decent zoom for the lake.

I love my waterproof Pentax Optio W10. Even the movies are decent for a small point and shoot digital.
Taking underwater photos is cool too...

I like Sony although the waterproof Pentax would be pretty cool.

Wal-Mart has a 5Mp Vupoint Waterproof camera for about 90 bucks. Would be the thing to toss in the boat or drag through the sand :D

Before I buy anything I go to www.cnet.com, They do reviews on all kinds of cool stuff.

Don't spend too much on a high pixel camera that you may loose some time . All you need is around 4 MP , 4 to 6 X optical zoom . Check Canons, most use "AA" batteries . I recommend to get rechargable nickel metal hydrite [Nimh] batteries they last 10 times longer on a charge than alkalines.
www.dpreview.com has right ups on all models known to earth .

They do carry it at Costco, yes!
Took me a few minutes to work up the nerve to actually bring it underwater, but it's worked out great....

If your a boater, you have to have one of these. Great photos above or below the surface. Easy to use. And you should see the looks on peoples faces when you put it in the water when they don't know what it is.:eek:
