I had high hopes for this site as on the surface it looked like exactly what I needed to find the camera I was looking for. Once you get past the first page, there are some pretty granular feature selections, and I was hoping that this would point me in the right direction. I want a waterproof camera that takes AA's and uses SD cards. SD cards is not an option on the site, so I picked waterproof and AA, leaving the rest at any. No Results. Knocked of the AA's still no results. Bumped up the price to $1000, still nothing. Olympus makes a # of waterproof cameras under $1000, but none were listed. What is the point of having an option on your feature selecter if you don't have any cameras that have it in your database? If anyone can point me to a camera with the features I'm looking for I'd appreciate it.

All the current waterproof models available on the market use lithium battery packs. SD cards there's the Canon D10 and the Panasonic FT-1
