Tom, have you heard any talk about the new Pentax Optio 43WR? Weather resistant, 3.9mp, 37-104 zoom lens, 2 AA batteries, 7.1oz (including batteries.) Good reviews on www.dpreview.com--looks like a good point and shoot for hikers.

These days it's pretty hard to find a bad digital camera. My advice would be to make sure the camera is right for you (has the features you really want) vs. placing much emphasis on the weatherproofing. I haven't found weatherproofing to be all that necessary.
