digital camera point and shoot advice

Olympus Stylus 600 or Pentax Optio WPi

Which is the better value? I need weather proof for my job and for skiing etc.

Anyone know the pros and cons?

For work, I am shooting crashed cars inside and outside in all weather

For play, the beach and skiing.

Thanks, Mark

I just got the stylus 600 with the big display on back. took it skiing today. worked great. small, compact, light, and weatherproof.

hope it helps

FWIW. the olympus in my opinion is a piece of shit. We get more of them in for reapair than any other brand, with the exception of Kodak. Plus the olympus has issues with a defective CCD. It turns out that they used the wrong adhesive when making the chips for most of the olympus line and the chip can actually delaminate in humid and warm enviroments.
