I am looking to upgrade my digital camera this off season. I have been using a Canon Power Shot S300 for a few years. I bought the waterproof / shock proof case to go with it. The camera still works, but the batteries are tired and I would like to step up from the 2.1 mega pixels it offers. I have looked around a bit, and found a couple choices. The Olympus Stylus 720sw is the first one that I was introduced to. Andy has this camera and I was impressed with it out on Cutty. The second one I found is the Pentax W30. No personal experience with this, but read some good stuf on the Jersey site.

These are my only real requirements:
- waterproof
- long / good battery life
- under $350 or so

What are you guys using?
