Need a Weather Proof Camera

I'm looking for some recommendations on a weather proof point'n'shoot camera (canon or non-canon)

Cost isn't the highest priority, not to sure what I should expect to pay for it.

Another key feature is the ability to macro photograph.

The camera is used to take photos of plants in the bush so we can later identify them, so the camera is used in a variety of weather conditions.

Olympus does some nice little numbers.. I owned a couple of their weather resistant cameras a few years ago and they took a nice little beating.

Their new one is now shock- and water-proof.. you can drop it from 5 foot or whatever they claim and not have it break. It's what I'm gonna get for a point and shoot when I get one.. I like the idea of it being hard to kill

Dunno how it goes as far as macro, mind you - you'd have to check it out.

I have the Olympus 720SW as my P&S... I've had it for about a year and a half before it flooded on a recent cruise. The doors on that camera have tiny little seals and you've got to be very diligent about keeping them clean and snapping them closed.
The macro feature is good but the images don't seem to be as sharp as the Canon SD400 that I had previous to the Oly. And they all have a tough time holding up to my 20D
I still want an all-weather P&S but this time I think I'm going with the SD800 and the WP-DC9 waterproof housing made for that camera. There are other threads here I've seen on this setup... I'm sure a search would turn it up.
If you find a good solution, please post your findings!

Definitely check Olympus. Pentax W30 isn't bad, just don't go swimming too deep with it. But weather wise it's proof. Olympus has weather and water proof. I want the 720 SW series so swimming is an option as well.

Have been looking arond a bit, seems like Olympus is the only way to go. They just released the 790 which is very similar to the 770, just doesn't have the same waterproof deapths and comes in at around $150 cheaper.

Thanks for your help guys.

He he, just came back from West Coast & south of NZ last weekend. 3-7 metres of rain a year (118 - 275 inches!) We wished that we had an Olympus for the West Coast. Happy snapping.

and suprise, suprise, it's still raining. Going to go past the blow holes on the way to work today, hopefull I get a brief break in the rain to get some snaps, the sea is breaking a good 100m off shore.

I run a scuba diving center and keep several Casio EX-55s with their underwater housing for rental. Surprisingly good results from such a cheap camera, and the housing is so compact and durable I've even taken one snow skiing with me. This model is now superceded but I'd certainly look at their current range. Even with batteries that are over 2 years old I still get over 300 shots per charge, using flash for most and the backlit screen for all. Compare that with the various Canons, Olympus & Sea and Sea, all of which have struggled to go past 50 or 60 exposures per charge. The more times you have to open the case to change the battery the more risk there is of flooding.
