I'm looking for a waterproof point & shoot camera to use primarily when we're out surfing, but also as a pocket camera. I'm looking at the Sony TX5, the Olympus MJU 6010 and the Canon D10, but wondered if anyone had any other suggestions or experience of these types of cameras. my budget is up to £250.
Answer
Among those choices, for a camera that you expect to get wet but will not take very deep the Sony TX5 may be a good choice.
Here is a review

It's advantage is the 10 MP CMOS sensor that will give you less noise or artifact as you turn up the ISO to capture action. It will also give you better video.
I have one concern about this camera. As seen at
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/dsc-t-series/dsc-tx5/tab/technicalspecs
I see an absence of a sport or action mode. Years ago I had a Sony W70 that I used with a light duty underwater housing for kayaking. In Program mode it had an annoying habit of selecting small aperture, slow speed. It had no sport mode per se. A background blur mode favored wide aperture, but was limited to ISO 100.
So I don't know if Sony has ever fixed that problem.

do regular cameras take significantly better pictures than underwater cameras because i want and underwater one for christmas but i would only be able to use it in the same. and at the same time i want a camera that takes good pictures..the underwater camera i was looking at is this : http://www.target.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-10-0MP-Digital-Camera/dp/B001R23JNU/ref=br_1_8?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=1243783011&node=1243783011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Fujifilm%20FinePix%2010%200MP%20Digital%20Camera
Answer
The camera you've linked to has good reviews. This is a waterproof camera and should take just as good pics as a 'normal' camera - the lens/sensor etc is all the same. The only difference is that this one has waterproof seals to stop water getting in.
Just a word of warning - this type of camera is ok in a pool (shallow water) but is only waterproof to 3m for a max time of 2 hours. If you push it beyond its limits, it may leak.
