Just to shove this sucker even farther off topic, any of you use these cameras near water? or in mildly unfriendly environments?

I am a kayaker... mostly lakes and sloughs, not the crazy river stuff. I've been looking for a nice camera that I can use both for artistic reference and while kayaking. Knowing the horrors of what can happen to electronics near lake water I'd like any input on how well these operate. Any tips on protective gear for digital cameras would also be welcomed.

thanks...
