Hi all, I am looking to get my first digital camera. Well, actually the ex got the first one we owned. LOL.
Anyhow, I don't necessarily need waterproof but then again I don't want to worry about taking fishing shots in the rain. So I guess I can go with WP or just use ziplocs like I have in the past.
I have been looking at the Olympus Stylus 550WP for $179 but even that is slightly out of my budget. I have also been scanning Craigslist and recently saw a Canon Powershot A470 new for $85.
I have been making myself crazy reading reviews and such on all Olympus models but I just can't afford the "tough" series and I need a camera right now for my son's ballgames, fishing and to sell some stuff online.
I guess my question is that if I don't plan on taking underwater shots is it really worth having a WP camera just to deal with the rain here? Lots of camera guys on here so I thought I would see what you guys think.
Thanks!
