Kodak - EasyShare Sport 12.0 - "Water resistant"?

[scallen2112]

Has anyone had any experience with the Kodak - EasyShare Sport 12.0 ?

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive camera that I can take out on the streams with me this weekend, and ran across this one at Best buy in my price range (cheap - under $100). I am not much of a photographer, so simple point and shoot works for me. I just want something that can shoot pictures to post online that I wont have to worry about when I take the occasional unintended swim (I've ruined more than one phone that way).

What gives me pause here is that the camera is that while the description says, "Record images and movies up to 10' underwater", it is only listed as "Water Resistant". I'm not really looking for underwater shots, just surviving the occasional dunking. Have any of y'all dunked a camera that is billed as "water resistant"?

Thanks for the feedback.

Watches and cameras will always be listed as "water resistant" instead of "water proof". That just means that the product has been tested to a particular depth. Just be careful about taking it scuba diving. :-)

I've got the Pentax WG-1 GPS which is resistant to 33 feet, but I also invested in a "flotation strap" so that I can have a better chance of recovering the camera if I do drop it.
