I've had this Canon for a year or so, and it works great.
If you're looking to shoot surf photos from the water, it will not work. Look for used stuff, and get the camera and housing separate.
We have this one and its pretty awesome - nice quality pictures and (so far) unbreakable.
I was looking for a similar camera and decided on the Canon Powershot D10 (available at Amazon) - I haven't bought it yet, so I can't offer a review of it's quality.
According to Canon's material, it's has 12.1 megapixel sensor and is waterproof to 33 feet. It's operating temperature is 14-104 degrees F, and it's shockproof to 4 feet. It's also got 3x optical zoom and image stabilization, as well as all sorts of onboard software features.
It has a solid 4-star rating on Amazon, with 55% of those reviews being 5-star.
My wife and I added it to our baby registry - we're going on a vacation to Hawaii in February, and we figure once our little boy is old enough to start using a camera in a few years, one that's shock, temperature, and waterproof probably wouldn't be too bad of a starter camera - you know, so he can be like his dad :)
Quick question - do you want waterproof as in can go underwater or waterproof as in can withstand rain? If you want underwater I would personally go with the Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD. It's rated to like 33 feet I think. My friend has one and the reviews on Amazon are phenomenal.
If you're going underwater PLEASE buy a nice wrist strap. You WILL drop your camera otherwise. OP/TECH USA 1801021 Cam Strap QD- for Compact Cameras and Binoculars -Neoprene (Black) is relatively cheap and has the added bonus of having a quick release. This means you can keep the strap on and just release the camera if you need to. This is really convenient if you're wearing gloves. If you get a second strap for a friend then you two can conveniently pass the camera back and forth and just click it in and not worry. You definitely don't want to lose a new camera and you certainly don't want to lose the memories.
The Canon Powershot D10 is a great camera. I've had one for a year or so, and we use it as our every-day point and shoot. It's done quite a bit of water work. Mostly kids in the pool or the lake. I don't dive but it's rated to 33 ft. The hinges/seals are good quality, you just have to keep them free of grit.
The only thing I don't like about it is the video mode is SD, not HD, and video doesn't have a continuous autofocus. Even with that the video is pretty darn good, and the stills are reliably great, both out of water and in water (water-clarity dependent). IMO it's absolutely worth the $300.
That's exactly what I'm looking for - a simple point and shoot that's waterproof and will withstand occasional drops and such. This has been super helpful, thanks so much!
Also, just to make sure, this is the Canon you're talking about, right?
