i am interested in purchasing a waterproof (or water resistant)
camera, after my bike trip last summer when i was rained on for
many days.  i decided i wanted a camera
that wouldn't flake out when the plastic bag it was stored in
started to leak.  i also wouldn't mind being able to take pictures
in the rain.

a recent article in the ny times mentioned two such cameras,
the nikonos and a new canon called something like "aqua snappy."

if anyone has any experience, advice, suggestions, i'd 
appreciate hearing from them. thanks...
