Yeah I know this gets asked about once a day so here's todays..

As I'm finally catching up with the digital age I've decided I need a decent camera.

I want something that'll take a good picture (obviously), can be stowed happily in a camelbak and isn't too fragile as I occasionally end up on my arse.

Suggestions please?

I still rather like my Cannon G10. It has since been superceded by the G11 but if the G10 was anything to go by it's a solid investment for a mountain biker wanting to take some 'more interesting than just snaps' type photos.

Regarding it's robustness…I have no complaints and I believe I've taken it to places that weaker cameras wouldn't have survived in. Then again I did use a Kata case which I reccomend highly.

Hope that this helps!
