Hauling out of the water to circumvent an 80 foot waterfall, which has been jumped at least three times. Not these bears though. Ropes for us.

It's amazing how big the water spots you dealt with are/were, and how long they stayed. It doesn't seem that Jay's or your camera was anywhere near as bad.

My experience is that this seems to be worse when the camera is new. I think my Olympus was pretty bad at first. We eventually resorted to wiping the lens with our shit or whatever (which seems to have removed a coating) but may have made the lens less hydrophobic, which may have helped. Really wish this camera just had a built-in lens cover. That would improve things significantly! I guess they are aiming this camera more at people who want to photograph underwater.

If possible, you might want to edit that comment to remove the (accidental) swear word :) :) Do you really think a lens cover helps? I mean, it'll still get wet (splashing, etc) and then the water drops are just stuck inside.

It doesn't completely solve the problem, but it minimizes it. A lot of water drops come from submerging the camera, not splashes. And usually when it's submerged, it's off, so the lens cover helps here a lot, actually. Even with splashes, let's say the camera is actually on for 5% of a trip, then the lens cover protects against 95% of the splashes that might occur.
