I'm looking for a water proof camera. I've had two so far a kodak playsport and a JVC. They both broke within 6 months to a year. I'm looking for a camera thats strong and will take good pictures and videos in and out of water. Doesn't have to be SLR level but I want it nice.
I've been looking at:
Nikon coolpix aw100
Canon D20
Olympus Tough TG-1
If anyone knows anything about these cameras you can tell me. Or if you have another recommendation for a camera, you can tell me that too. Thanks.

I have a Panasonic TS3 (the predecessor of the TS4). Not great, but not bad. The autofocus does a lot of hunting. If it is pointed at the sun, there is a lot of blooming. I think demo video that I have seen for the GoPro hero looks better. However, every video that I have seen has overlaid music, and I have seen reviews that say the waterproof case muffles sound. The Panasonic TS3 can capture sound even in water. Emerging from water, it sounds a bit muffled for about two seconds until the water drains from the mic, but then it's okay. It does magnify wind noise, and the wind cut setting does nothing.
Here are some samples.
A lot of wind noise in this one:

An actual event, not just a test. As you can tell, I like to do real-time narration from the water:

A swimming pool test. This one shows you what I mean by blooming:

What are some good waterproof digital cameras?

Not only good underwater but also on land etc... One that can take good quality pictures... Also shockproof etc... And something easy to carry around and not like the cannon d10 which is bulky... Thank U...

The best waterproof camera for 2011 is the Panasonic TS3. The picture and video are hands down the best that I have seen in rugged, shockproof cameras.
The second one is the Sony TX10.
