It's plastic with rubber corners.

It seems pretty rugged to me, but I have never dropped it. There are
quite a few folks in the dpreview forums that take the camera white
water rafting, and it seems to survive pretty rough treatment.

I'm curious too. I want to get a digital before I go travelling around
Central America for 6 months. I Could do with something that would cope
with changing weather conditions, humidity, beaches, being knocked about in
a rucksack etc. I was thinking of the new Canon S60 but am worried about
it's ability to cope in such conditions.

Re the Pentax 43WR, what are your opinions of picture quality and battery
life?
