Wow, that Olympus Verve looks really cute - I don't think it was around when I did my research. I have the Pentax OptioWP. It's small and waterproof. We took it on Ride the Rockies and it was perfect. My boyfriend perfected the technique of storing in his jersey and shooting incredible stills and videos on the bike. I just started taking it with me on the bike too,and it's easy to grab it, turn it on, shoot and back in the pocket it goes, all while cruising down the road. Go for it!
