I got a little lucky. I won a digital camera through my work and was able to trade it for the XP120 at a little camera shop near me. That cut my cost by about 50%. Waterproof was the key for me, but ease of use and ability to take high quality pictures from a moving vehicle were important, too. Ferret and the guy at the camera shop both said that this camera would serve my purposes well. One thing that I wasn't looking for, but is a nice feature is that you charge the battery while it is in the camera via a USB cable. This means that I only need to carry the cable on trips, not a charging pod, and I don't have to remember to re-insert the battery after charging.
