Is the fujifilm finepix xp55 a good waterproof camera?

Carla

I want a waterproof camera thats not too expensive and I found one at walmart for $170. Its called a fujifilm finepix xp55. my friends bought it and really likes it but I wanted to make sure it was a good one before I bought it.
I mainly want it for taking pictures in my pool, on water slides, in the snow, etc.
I read a couple of reviews that said it didnt take very good regular indoor pics but I'm not really planning on using it for that.

I want this one because I can get it locally and don't have to order it online, but if it's going to be a piece of crap, I'd be willing to spend the extra money for shipping and get a better one
(I don't plan on using it professionally, just for fun)

Any info about the camera would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
it should be a fun camera, and yes it is waterproof, at least for swimming pool use, don't take it deep sea diving. imho i prefer the Olympus equivalent camera models, but getting a local purchase at Walmart is a big plus for the Fuji.

Need a waterproof camera?

Anyone got a good tip for an waterproof camera?
Doesn't need to go down to more than 10 metres (it is for a friend who wants to go snorkelling).
He had one of those disposal ones but says that the pictures were rubbish...so I'm going to buy him a new one.
Not TOO expensive though ;-)
Thanks Luc
