Best camera for shooting fish pictures that will last on the boat?

[GringoJohn]

I'm trying. I'm still trying to figure out what to get, I'm kind of leaning towards the Nikon D5100. It's a decent camera and I just want to see how long it lasts. If all works out, and it's still clicking in a year, I'll probably get one of the expensive Nikons. More pictures coming soon!

If you step up to d7000 it the weather resistance one but the cost is a little more. I have the 5100 they are on sell now but hard to find a bundle.

Oh wow, so the 7000 would last longer in the salt air? They are going in pelican cases mounted on the boat, so it won't get wet, but I'm worried about salt air corrosion. I go through cameras really fast so i was hoping that getting a bigger camera would mean it would last longer as long as it stays dry. Would the 7000 be more salt air resistant?
