    Anyone have this camera? Its a 2 Megapixel camera,, can get it for €349. The main thing about it is its waterproof! It can survive a swim in up to five feet of water. Im just wondering what people think of it, do the pics come out good?

    Looking at the specs and price of this camera I wouldn't be a fan of it at all. If you're looking to do underwater photography you'd be better off buying a more conventional digi cam and ordering an underwater case with it. I believe underwater cases can be ordered with certain Canon and Olympus cameras. You could probably get a 2 megapixel Canon plus underwater case for around 400 euros. The cases are expensive but they're worth it. The Sony DSC-U60 is too limited and too much of a compromise if you're anyway serious about underwater photography

    Now if you're not looking to do underwater photography and merely want a camera which can survive being accidentally dropped into the drink, then Pentax have an interesting and pretty cool camera - the Optio 33WR. 3.2 megapixels, optical zoom, movies with audio etc. all contained in a water resistant case which can survive a momentary immersion in water. You can get these for around 350-360 euros from amazon.co.uk. I'm thinking of one myself, am waiting for a review to appear on www.dcresource.com (apparently the camera will be reviewed sometime this month)
