A good camera for river running

I'm looking for a digital camera for paddling, thats water proof, can fit in a buoyancy aid easily and isn't going to cost too much.

Any suggestions?

a mate of mine has this one. rapid fire, fairly simple to use, and would deffo fit in a BA (size of a deck of cards)! plus all the basic requirements and 7.1megapix!

I've heard good things about Olympus and Pentax for waterproof cameras alright.

Check out the pentax optio w30.

Not as robust as the olympus but seems to have better picture quality and better video capabilty

Also available on ebay

Just returned from a 5 day run on the Salmon Main in Idaho here in the US. Used the Olympus 770SW and got some great pics,,even some video and sound snippets.
