I'm looking for a camera for backpacking, and possibly for a thru-hike. My main requirements are that it be compact and weatherproof. I haven't decided about batteries yet, but I think I'll accept rechargeables if they have a long enough life. So far, the only current models I have identified as weatherproof are the Olympus Stylus and the Pentax Optio.
Does anyone have experience, good or bad, with these models? Are there other weatherproof models I should check into? I would consider buying used.
