Reddit mentions of Panasonic Lumix TS4 12.1 TOUGH Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Zoom (Black)

I actually posed this question a few weeks ago but it wasn't too helpful. After doing a bunch of research, it came down to 2 cameras, the Panasonic TS4 and the Nikon COOLPIX AW100. The reviews I read seem to suggest the Nikon had slightly better picture quality and a better locking door mechanism. The reason I chose the TS4, however, is because it had more camera control options (manual control, longer exposure time) and it had an altimeter built-in which I thought would be cool on the mountain. It's honestly a coin-toss between those two cameras though. If you were more on a budget, I'd suggest the Panasonic TS20, which is similar to the TS4 but has a few less features like GPS builtin. Hope that helps.

Panasonic ts4, no electronics will be BIFL but this is an excellent "tough" point and shoot. They also make a housing that adds 100ft or so. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00728ZBAC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1373986719&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX112_SY192
