I might have mentioned this before, but my wife's Olympus 725SW
was getting a bit overage, so she decided she wanted something
else, with higher pixel count, and better zoom.

We checked out the dpreview.com's review of water-proof cameras,
and their finalists were the Canon PowerShot D10 and
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1, but she found the Canon a bit too fat
for her liking (it can be used for diving, a possible bonus)
and the LUMIX was just a bit too big.

Then by chance she found a camera to her liking, small and neat,
which we found out by chance, was dunkable, if not diveable!

It is wallet-sized, has a sliding door that protects the lens when not
in use, fits easily to a pocket on her PFD, and has a lot of goodies
like instant panormas - plus it takes pretty good video. It macro
goes to the front of the lens, and it has such newfanged things
like following focus, and you can point at what is should be
focusing at, too!

Like similar cameras, it should be washed in fresh water after
being used in seawater, and it is a 12 MP camera.

Just great!
