Thanks for all the great info. I would like something under $300 that is water proof to at least a meter. I'm not going to be taking underwater shots, but my vest and pack frequently get wet while wading. I am a very aggresive wader, and in shallow water I have been known to get on my knees and crawl up on trout, and I also fish in the rain and snow quite a bit. I can always get a soft pouch for the camera so shock resistance isn't that big of a concern. I do want to take pictures of flies with it, but it would mostly be a vest camera to start with. If I get into it more, I can always upgrade to a camera that will stay dry for better shots.
