I would guess that any of the life-proof cameras would exceed your
requirements...especially if it will be dry most of the time. It comes
down to the features you want and the cost. You may even consider
getting an older model or a cheaper one. There are some on the
market for half the cost.
Some of these high end cameras have gps...which I really don't
understand as it seems to be a huge overhead and not a feature I
want. Like...all the pics are stamped with coordinates of where the
picture is taken...Creepy! I am not sure how accessible the info is
or if it transfers and can be read by others, but it seems to me to
be an invasion of privacy. Most reviews state that having the GPS
on will really drain the battery. The good thing about the 820....is
that it comes without a GPS....so at least you are not paying for a
feature you will disable.
I just noticed that I didn't read the full thread and you
already have the camera. I am sure it is going to be awesome.
