We spent the day on the beach. Watching the world go by. Reading, photographing wildlife, and playing with a new waterproof underwater camera.
The new underwater (WATERPROOF!) camera works great.
It's a Canon Powershot D20. IMO it's a great point and shoot style camera.
The D20 has lots of features including, an AUTO mode for simple no brainer pictures, P(rogram) mode, two underwater modes, HD video mode and lots of options for special photos modes (sun, snow, fireworks, night, low light, monochrome, etc.).
Did I mention it's WATERPROOF and has IS (image stabilization).
On a five star scale I would rate it 4.5. My minus 0.5 is because it is really easy to get your finger or thumb in front of the lens. Canon's suggested method of holding the camera is unpractical IMO.
Otherwise if you are an outdoor person around water or cold temperatures it is worth the price. $285-$349 is the range I have seen.
One warning IT DOES NOT FLOAT.

Here is a view just at water level. Look close you can see the photographer in the bubble.
Camera held just under the surface.
This underwater photo was taken in 3-4 feet deep water. The camera was held just under the surface of the water and pointed straight down.
This photo was taken with the Canon Powershot D20.
