Hello,

I am trying to shop for a average type of waterproof camera, to use during vacation. Any recommendation?
Thanks!

I got a $100 Fuji a few years back. frost/shock and water proof. I've had down to about 12 to 15 feet deep.
Other brands have pretty much the same kind at about the same price.
Had one of my pics published in a Photo Life magazine contest. :)

If you are planning to go to the beach, waterproof isnt enough, therefore I would recommend to stay away from Nikon as the AW line is NOT sand/dust proof. I had issues with 2 of them, very very disappointed.

Thanks all! I end up picking up an Olympics TG-620 iHS. It was good, loving it.
