waterproof digital camera?

Does anyone own one?  Are you happy with it? 

We go swimming SO much and I feel like we could have so many awesome pics of the kids if we had a way to have a camera at the pool.  Plus their b-day party in 2 weeks is a POOL party - so I'd like to find one soon.  BUT not spend an arm and a leg.  :)

    We have an Olympus, we've had it for about 4 years, so I know they have newer models now.  We've taken it to the pool, snorkeling, and it's almost impossible to break.  I love it.

    We have a Fuji, its waterproof up to 30 feet, dust proof, shatter proof up to 6 feet and freeze proof. It also takes video, underwater even. Its DH's camera, he's pretty tough on things and he's had it for almost 2 years and has yet to destroy it, lol. We have friends with an Olympus that they seem to like. Whatever brand you go with, get a flotation strap otherwise it sinks and then you have to go fishing.

    We have an Olympus camera as well. It works waaaaay better for outdoor/water pictures than for indoor stuff where sometimes the pics can come out blurry or the lighting is off.

    I use my DSLR for indoor stuff and the Olympus for pool things etc. We've had the Olympus for 4 years and haven't had any problems with it!

    Thanks everyone!  We're heading to the outlet mall today...maybe I can find something there for a deal.  

    We won't plan to use it indoors, so that's not an issue.  But DH and I both grew up basic pool rats...and figure our kids will be similar (one of the reasons why we chose our house - walking distance to the pool)!

    I love my Olympus too. We bought it 2 years ago for our honeymoon and I think it will really come in handy with the babies! Shock proof, water proof to 30 ft, sand/dirt/dust proof. LOVE!

    I have the Fuji waterproof camera (it's candy apple green) and we brought it to Hawaii last year.  It worked AWESOME as long as it was on the right setttings.  It wasn't too crazy expensive either.  I got it at Target.
