Would you trust this bag?

I've wanted a Panasonic Lumix camera for the last couple years, and this trip has inspired me to finally buy it (anything for better blogging, of course). In the past I held off because I always believed that you should buy digital cameras from the companies that have been putting out quality camera equipment for generations (e.g., Pentax), but in the interim many of my friends have become Lumix owners and they all seem very happy. (How can you go wrong with a Leica lens, after all?) I'm getting the DMC-ZS5 12.1 MP model, with 12x optical image. Now I am having anxiety about taking it near the water; it wouldn't be the first time I've put a camera in the drink (or put a drink in a camera, for that matter)! I think this case might be the answer. It's very inexpensive, but has received rave reviews from users and has a guarantee that covers the contents if it fails due to manufacturing defect. The style pictured has an acrylic lens cover, which should result in better underwater pics than an all-vinyl bag. You can see their whole product line at http://www.aquapac.net/usstore/aquapac-us-store-1-0.html They have cases for cell phones, gps, mp3 players....just about anything you could want to take to the beach or out kayaking.
