Good Digital Camera For Backpacking

[spetz]

This summer I plan to do allot of backpacking [hiking + camping] and well I want to be able to take pictures of my adventures along with many of the beautiful things I will see. I need a small very portable camera. Also something sturdy and water proof. Cause its not gona be a walk in the park. I am not careless but i know it will end up taking a beating to some extent. Along with this I am a student with a very limited budget. So something cheap but sturdy and will take nice looking pictures.

i do quite alot of backpacking and my kodak z612 does a pretty good job. albiet it is not small but it is light and can fit in a fairly small case. its about the size of a dslr but does not need all of the lenses. out of curiosity, where are you going to be backpacking?

Check out the Olympus Mju 770SW.

Waterproof to 10m, shockproof, crushproof, snowproof, and shakeproof.

Really like that one but thats not in my budget atm. I am looking for more 200-300max CAD

I also gotta buy backpacking gear...

I may just have to get a cheaper one and be extra careful.

i see. ive never been to canada but i hear it is beautiful up there. i backpack alot along the appalachain trail. yea the kodak is an expensive camera but is well worth it. shame it is out your price range.
