Best waterproof digital point & shoot?

Zaki

My girlfriend has her heart set on the Panasonic FH1/TS1. The only problem is that it's too expensive. The cheapest I can find is $265 new, used is like $60 bucks cheaper. I'd rather buy new to make sure it works. I really can't afford that, I know she wants a waterproof & she said I don't have to get it for her but I know she really wants it & I want to make her happy. I found a few others that are a little cheaper.

Like the Kodak Playsport, FujiFilm Finepix Z33WP & XP10. Are they any good? Which one is better? There's also a couple more that I've found though they aren't waterproof. However they're cheap & I figured that by summer I can buy a waterproof case. The other 2 are the Fujifilm AX250 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20. Out of all of those cameras which one is the best? Or if you know of a better one for under $200. ^_^
The reason is kinda actually my fault. We both come from a kinda poor family & its more a pride thing. I wanna get the camera for her by myself. Besides she doesn't get an allowance, she'd have to use her holiday money on it. I don't want her to have to do that.

Answer
Your girlfriend is smart. The Panasonic TS1 is a very good waterproof camera (and also records HD video). From the review link below, the Canon D10, Panasonic TS1 and Pentax Option 60W were the best performers of waterproof cameras tested.

The Fujiflim Z33WP is crap and so are Olympus. The Playsport is crap. Remember, if it's real cheap, it's cheap for a reason.

One suggestion...if your girlfriend really has her heart set on the TS1, but it's out of your price range...why doesn't she contribute towards the cost of the camera?

Answer
For that budget, your option for a waterproof camera is quite limited. But here are a few suggestions :-

1. Fuji XP10 (around $110)
2. Kodak Playsport (a waterproof videocam that could actually take photos)

The Fuji is also shockproof but the video quality is not as good as the Kodak. See my link for the list of waterproof cameras that you might want to check.
