That's lousy for a serious waterproof camera, but it's great for a mostly land based, low cost point and shoot that you want to be able to take to the beach for swimming and maybe a little snorkeling.

To use a camera you already have, http://www.aquapac.info/, has possibilities.

You need to be more specific. Are you looking for film or digital? Do you want a self-contained underwater camera or a camea in a housing? What is the maximum depth at which you will be using the camera?-- are you just looking for something to take into the surf or keep with you while rafting or are you planning on diving with it?

Canon sells a good casing for their A620 and similar models (same camera design - different features). It sounds as if it is a good housing, and the camera reviews speak for themselves... >> Stay informed about: Water proof camera

The current model is the W20, which is 7 Mp versus 6 Mp for the previous W10 model. Olympus also makes the SW series, and the 725SW seems to be nearly (?) as waterproof as the Pentax models. Waterproof cases are very expensive, but possibly you could get a higher quality digicam than the aforementioned models. Here's a list of options including film: http://cacreeks.com/cameras.htm >> Stay informed about: Water proof camera
