    Yeah used one of those at a party once, then realized that I had to get the pictures "developed" :icon_rolleyes:

    Not sure how the :flash: were going to go over at the local Walmart!

    Being such an :angel2: myself, I decided that digital was the safest route to take and still be able to walk the streets of a small town after vacation....

    True Story: One year I was a lifeguard at a motel pool outside Washington, DC. Was there for a Senior Class Trip from Palmara, MO. On my way back to school that fall I stop by Palmara to see some of the people I had meet from the trip. While they were at work I was walking around the town and when I went in the local drug store the lady behind the counter recognized me from the pictures she developed. Two others recognized me walking down the street. You may thing the little guy in the store doesn't look at the pictures but..... just sayin'.. :)

    we just bought the Intova IC12. We haven't used it underwater yet but it is waterproof to 180 ft (great if you scuba dive). We have taken some pics with it out of the water and they turned out great! We did ton of research on the different models and it took us forever to finally decide on one that was priced right and had all the features we wanted. Never thought picking an underwater camera could be so difficult. Price on Amazon right now is $170. One down side is it has an underwater housing which makes it a little bulky when taking it in the pool.

    We have the Fuji XP10 and its a great camera. Great underwater shots from the Boobs Cruise snorkeling, great point and shoot day and night, and its also shock proof, freeze proof, and the battery pack lasts a long time. Small size fits into board short pocket or even jeans pockets no problem at all. One complaint is that the icons on the buttons are wearing off but after 1.5 years of high use, its not that bad.

    I used a Fuji XP20 last November December as well. The photos's are pretty good but it's not very fast focusing. It gets a bit grainy at the higher ISO settings.

    My son has an iphone and was given a protective plastic case last Christmas for this phone. The case says its good for depths to 50'. Has anyone ever bought and tried this? He took it with us on our last vacation but he was afraid to try it.
