Camera is Frito!

My Canon S-230 camera died after 3 years of steady use. I see this as a major weakness of the electronic age products. They do not do too well in extreme environments. One too many kayak trips did it in...even keeping the camera in a waterproof bag (designed for cell phones or GPS recievers). I need to get another digital camera...now I am thinking cheap...not small. My blog seems empty without photos.
