It needs to be able to be something that won't break super easy. And one that can record video. Also if it is waterproof that would be good. It needs to be under $200 Any suggestions would be great, Thanks!
Answer
You will not find any good ones for $200.
As said previously, Nikon AW100 or Olympus Tough-820.
I have the Olympus Tough-8010 which is a predecessor to the 820 (the Nikon was not available when I bought mine), and it has worked pretty good.
There are some models under $200 such as the Olympus Tough-3000. However, they are not nearly built as well, and cannot go as deep waterproof wise.
Realize also that the waterproof rating is for calm - static water. If you dump your camera into a raging river, there will be more force against the camera, and a camera like the Tough-3000 which is rated only to 3 meters in depth may not be enough.
The 8010 had additional o-ring seals, which is why I went with that one. Also it has an all-metal case, and I think part of it might be magnesium, but I am not 100% sure. At any rate it is heavy (at least for a compact camera), and well built.
Also, Olympus has more than one camera with the same model number, so make sure it is the "Stylus Tough" series, as those are the waterproof and ruggedized ones.

Good waterproof digital camera?
Q. I want a good quality camera that will take pictures underwater & while I'm in the pool without it getting ruined. Any suggestions?
Answer
The Coolpix AW100 and S30 are two good choices. The Olympus Tough TG-820 iHS is also a good choice.
Regardless of what camera you buy, you'll also need a genuine spare battery, 2 or 3 8GB Class 10 SD cards, an SD card reader and a little case.
