Default Digital Cameras

Can anyone recommend a good camera as my last one couldnt swim nor float that well

I'm just after something compact that has a reasonable size display, holds a few pics and doesnt eat batteries (if at all possible). I found this on ebay, but not sure if its any good:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympus-Camedi...QQcmdZViewItem

Its cheap but not sure if the 16mb card is going to be any good

Any suggestions apart from getting some diving gear and trying to bring my old one back to life
