I just ordered the Olympus Tough TG-310 and will give a report after I've played with it a bit. Looks like a pretty good camera and the price is very reasonable.

I have been using an Olympus 790 since it first came out. That is at least 4 years and two EXTREMELY wet hunts in Alaska (Brown bear out of Yakutat and black bear on POW) and it is still going strong. Since I bought it they have upgraded to 6000 and 8000 series and I have to believe they are at least as good. With that said, I am looking hard at going to the Panasonic TS3 with its Leica lens.

Very impressed with the Olympus I bought! I have taken several pics in and around my apartment and took a bunch of underwater pics of my girls at the pool today and the photo quality is great!!!

As you do your research you might also want to look at the temperature range. The zoom on my Canon SX20IS locks up sometimes when the temps get down to around freezing.
These cameras that take pix underwater are pretty cool. I never knew they existed.

Terry, The most important requirement is lens. What are you looking for? Telephoto or wide angle? Also, are you interested in stills or video or both? I really really like my gopro, but the super wide angle lens might not meet your requirements. Are you looking for weather proof or will the camera be submerged? Dave

Terry, a low cost camera, even if you already have one. Check out a Tachyon XC Micro helmet cam. The paint ball guys use them. They are waterproof, bomb proof, one button control. When you want to drop everything and chase that hog, you can capture the hunt hands free. Not production quality, but good enough to enjoy reliving your hunt. I just picked one up on amazon new for $89. Take care, keep bringing us good hog hunting info, Scott

Also second the olympus... I accidentally sent mine through the washer AND dryer and it survived. Amazing! it looks pretty beat up but it works perfect.
