Going on a trip to Costa Rica for two weeks and was wondering if I should invest about $200 on either a waterproof camera because we will be doing plenty of snorkeling or a nice camera that wouldn't be able to go to the beach. I will still use this camera (obviously...I'm spending $200) when I get back but probably not use the waterproof function a whole lot.
Also, what camera would you recommend...I would like one that would do well in low light and it would be nice if it could fit in a large pocket.

After having used numerous underwater cameras, my favorite by far is the Nikon Coolpix AW100. The quality of the underwater photos and videos is exceptional -- just make sure you use the custom underwater mode for the perfect color balance. The LCD screen on the back is the right size so you can easily view the marine life you are trying to capture. The battery life is great. I've used it in both the Caribbean and the Hawaiian Islands on dozens of occasions. There's a great price on it, too, around $250 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005IGVY92/snorkelingdives-20/

By the way, there is great snorkeling around Costa Rica! Just check this out for the best Costa Rica snorkeling destinations http://www.snorkelingdives.com/scripts/three.asp?COUNTRYNAME=Costa%20Rica&TYPE=SNORKELING

It seems that the waterproof camera that really delivers quality images is the Canon D10. It looks really cool, one giant cyclops' eye of a flash. But the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1is quite impressive as well. Read the detailed review to find out more: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/page17.asp

Here's a quote:
"The Canon PowerShot D10 certainly put in an impressive performance both in and out of the water. It was one of the most responsive cameras to use, and at the same time it produced some of the sharpest and most detailed images of all the cameras in the group at lower ISO settings. On the downside the 3x zoom with no wide-angle capability might be a bit limiting in some situations. it is also the least compact camera in the group.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 was not far behind the D10 in low ISO image quality, and produced the best image quality in the group in low light. It also features the widest zoom range with more telephoto reach, though this also meant that images produced at the telephoto end of the zoom were a lot softer than those on the wider end. The TS1 featured the most comprehensive video mode of all the cameras in this group test, and was the only one with AVCHD lite recording functionality. It also has the highest rated battery life of all cameras in this group (according to CIPA standard tests). Despite all these features there were operational annoyances and poor flash performance that dragged down its overall rating."
