Another digital camera that is waterproof or has a housing is the Sony
Cybershot.    You can purchase a waterproof housing for any of their
cybershot cameras and can go down to a depth of 30ft.   But who cares about
that.

Does work very well though it is extra.

This is what I have and it works very well.
