[pct-l] camera

[Laura Fox]

I'm also in the market for a new digital camera for an '08  
thruhike ... I'm currently spoiled by my digital SLR which I love but  
which is just too big and heavy.  The new digital cameras available  
out there change monthly, which means people's opinions and reviews  
from even a year or two ago are out of date, which is frustrating.   
For instance, I think the Canon S80 is a great camera, but it's been  
discontinued.

This Olympus camera, which is supposedly water-proof, shock-proof,  
freeze-proof, dust-proof, and drop-proof, and is also small and  
light, is pretty interesting, but I don't have personal experience  
with it:

I'm also looking at this Canon camera, which is much heavier and more  
expensive (and not , but has more of the features of my SLR that I'm  
afraid I'll miss having:

act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15669

But anyway, I'd also be interested to hear what people like using.   
And also, is it hard enough to protect a camera on the PCT that you'd  
want one of those everything-proof cameras?
