digital cameras in the surf?

[tlapinski]

i am in search of a new camera. i have been looking into water/weather proof digitals for some time. the one camera that keeps getting mentioned is the Kodak DC5000. the only problem i have is that it is no longer made. i have found a few on ebay, but i am not sure if i want to buy a discontinued camera. does any one have any advice on the DC500 or another quality camera that would be "surf fishing proof"?
