Choosing any camera, waterproof or not, is a series of compromises. Just like buying a new boat. If you want "memory" pictures, most anything from a disposable to a reusable waterproof will jog your memory. If you want good quality photos, ie, suitable for enlargement, you will need a quality 35 mm and a Pelican case or watertight housing. The difference between these two extremes is not the camera body, but the lens. In between them, there are not really any good choices I am aware of this, because I looked long and hard for a waterproof with a quality lens. If you opt for the memory photos, the other thing to consider is the best quality photos generally have the least in them. Too much is too distracting. That favors the telephoto. On the other hand, if it is only memory, very little emphasis on quality, a wide angle lens will put more in the photo for you to remember.
