What waterproof camera to buy?

[Delphinus]

Almost bought an Olympus myself but got this one instead (edged out the Olympus in a couple areas): http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=18332

I use the Pentax w80

Been all over the world with me already, recommended for up to 5m, I've had it deeper

I had always bought an olympus in the past. However, this time I changed up and got the Canon D10 powershot. I love it!

I have the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 and I love it.

I picked up a canon D10 last year and have been very impressed with the quality of the pictures that it takes. It was a toss up between that and Olympus though.

Olympus vs Canon was a hard choice for me too. Love the Olympus cameras, have an older one and a newer one - the wife keeps the newer one 'cuz it's tiny and I still use the older one for the occasional tank photo (top downs in particular since it fits under the lights when pointing down which I could never do with an SLR). So I really wanted an Olympus but when I went looking I found the Canon D10 and what really sold me on it was the depth to 33feet/10meters whereas most others in the price point are 10feet. 10feet is good for snorkeling but I wouldn't take it diving. I did take the D10 on a dive and I was the only one in the group able to take away pictures from the dives - for some reason the others either didn't have cameras or the cameras didn't work down at depth, despite being in casings that were rated to deeper water.

Hard to go wrong with Olympus or Canon either way though.

If im not mistaken the Canon not only goes deeper (33ft for the price) it is also freeze resistant to -15 and drop resistant from 10ft. These 3 features are what sold me on the cannon. Also the canon lense/retractable part (sorry not camera lingo savy) does not need to be lubed as it gets older where as the olimpus does. I will throw up some pic's that I took snorkeling in venezuela when I get home.

i work in the camera department of a futureshop and i would say that the panasonic ts2 which is panasonics water proof camera is the best out of the three but to be honest form my many hours playing with them there all super close

Oh man, DO want.
How much did you get this camera for?
