"Purchased the Finepix XP20 a couple of months ago and love it.  Shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof and dustproof. Have tried all but the freezeproof scenario and the camera performs great and takes excellent pics.  No worries throwing it…"

"I have an older Olympus 550WP that I absolutely love. I've been abusing it on a regular basis and it just keeps coming back for more. As for image quality, it's a 10mp camera with 3x zoom and shoots a couple of different video formats. I…"

"Your question turned into a fun afternoon! It set me off in search of a camera which was great. I tend to be very loyal to equipment that has been good to me even if it gets old. While my Olympus is old it still works adequately so I have avoided…"

"I use the Olympus WP Stylus also. It is a 10 mp camera and takes great photos. I have only once tried underwater shots with the kids and it was too murky for anything to come out of it. But the camera still works fine and I hope to be experimenting…"

"I use an Olympus Stylus 725 SW. It's a small waterproof, shock resistant digital that takes fairly decent photos...not professional quality, but decent. It came with a wrist strap that will keep the camera floating if it falls into the water.…"

"I carry an Olympus 550WP all the time. It's a good, fairly inexpensive camera (seen it recently for under $100). It's a 10 megapixel camera that shoots standard and HD video, plus it's waterproof to 3 meters. Here's a sample of…"

Waterproof Camera

Does anyone have suggestions as to a waterproof camera? I've seen somefrom several manufacturers and wondered what may be in use for kayakingand the pros and cons of what you may use. I use a FinePix S700 andFinePix 5200 for most of my photography but we carry a Sony Cybershot in the 135T ina dry bag. I really want to be able to hang the camera near our EtrexGPS and not worry about splashing or rain.See More
