What does everyone use? Just bought a Olympus fe-340, but worried about water-proofability.

My buddies are using the Optio W30 and it takes real nice pics. The Optio W60 is supposed to be available on August first and retails around $325. Its got additional waterproofing,submersion protection and higher resolution than the 30's. I may be a buyer of one but want to get some user feedback on it first. Worth a look depending on your budget range.

John, thats a great deal. Being old school. is it user friendly? Not being electronic literate what setting works in the dark? I also see to size is stowable in the dry top. I just might buy myself a present.
