Digital Camera's.... do tell....

[leptar]

First let me apoligize for asking too many questions.

So what are you folks using for digitals? Please do tell of your experiences such as battery life, camera speed (from on to take the first picture and from first to second photo), photo quality (low light, sunny, overcast, dark), and the big one "durability" (how many times have you dropped it, sat on it, got it splashed on, ect....


I want to get a camera so i can look back at photos since i will be taking my son with me now, I was considering the Pentax Optio WP line but read a couple of reviews that they weren't the hardiest of digitals. I don't plan on taking them underwater but would like to keep it on me while i'm fishing so more then likely it will get splashed upon and being water resistant to me means that i can rinse it in freshwater to clean it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
