In addition to whatever camera or system you take how about taking the "GO-PRO"? By adding the LCD back and its waterproof housing it also has audio applications. Also you can do both video, single shot and multi-shot. This would also fit nicely into any PP needed when you get back home.
Do you use one? What is the picture quality like? lens quality? 5MP quality? I am very interested.

Planning a trip to Costa Rica, knowing we are heading to the Rain Forrest several times, is it worth investing in a rain sleave? or just putting the camera away if it starts to rain.

If you watch football on TV you see all those white lenses and when it begins to rain all those white lenses have a rain sleeve on them they dont pack up and go home.

If it's a Canon "L" series lens they can take some water since they are water sealed when using a filter (normally UV). However, having said that, it's wise to to always protect your lens.

I find it a tad ironic that you have such a great camera but live in the "Arizona Desert" :shock:
