A growing trend in the world of compact digicams is "rugged" cameras that are capable of taking a modest beating as well as splashing in the surf or playing in the snow. Many of these cameras are festooned in bright colors and lest you think that's just a fashion statement let me tell you a story: A few years ago I gave my pal Gary his "dream camera," something small he could take on hikes in the mountains and thafs exactly what he was doing when he accidently dropped the silver digicam into a deep snow bank, never to be found again. It never showed up on Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures (http://ifoundyourcamera.blogspot.com) and the camera was lost forever. It might have been easier to find if it was red. Tip: Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures also posts images from lost memory cards so ifs a good resource for many reasons.
