I agree that the value is more in being weatherproof than waterproof. I'd imagine any pics or video taken underwater wouldn't look very good anyway.

What I'd really like to see is a camera/camcorder with a "transformer" form factor that would look like a camera in photo mode and a camcorder in video mode. People make assumptions about what you are doing based on what the device looks like. Whenever I take photos with my camcorder I have to tell my subjects to "hold still I'm taking a photo." When I record a movie with my camera I have to say "you can move around, it's a video!"

This thing would be solid for whitewater rafting or whitewater kayaking. I could flip upside down and not worry about the camera.

Good point. Make sure to use the wrist strap!
