I went out and stupidly bought a camera without doing my research. I wanted to buy a water/shock/freeze proof camera. My choices were Olympus stylus tough, Pentax optio w90, Cannon powershot D10, Fuji finepix XP 10, Casio Elixim G1, and Panasonic lumix DMC-TS2. So before I tell you wich one I bought, I was hoping to get some non byist opinions or wich one you would choose and why. Thanks for any info.
After doing lots of research I just bought a Panasonic lumix DMC-TS2. So far it has been very easy to use, fits in my pocket but I have not had it out in the wet .... yet.

I brought the Panasonic lumix DMC-TS2 a couple of weeks ago after doing the research. So far, it performs as advertized - very good pictures and HD video and tons of photo mode options on the camera. I even submerged it in about a foot of water and shot video of a fish as I was reeling it in. Video came out great and it's waterproof so far!
I've been using this camera for a while, very happy with the quality, and have swam with it, taking underwater pictures of my kids at play...like it better then my Canon 850IS
I had a fuji finepix and used it tough for years. When I needed a new camera I got another when I saw a great deal. For all my needs it is plenty of camera and I'm happy with it. I am sure there are better and worse out there. Enjoy it and show us some great shots.
I still haven't mastered the camera. I have problems keeping the camera still. I so far have taken fair pictures if it is on a sport setting, otherwise the pictures turn fuzzy. I'm still not getting the colors to pop. Heres a few pics I took a couple of weeks back on the Salama river.
I too have the Fuji and am very satisfied with the still pics. However, the shake in HD video mode is awful so I shoot much more footage knowing that much of it will be edited out. I wonder if all of these waterproof cameras are weak in this department?
I use the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 for on-water pics, macro for fly shots, and video. I've been impressed by its ease of use, functionality, durability, and photo quality. Gripes? The LCD view screen is easily scratched because it's got a higher profile than the camera body, and at times it takes to long to boot up.
Best advice - buy as much camera as you can afford and get photo editing software.
I have the Canon. I like it, but I don't love it. Pics not as sharp or bold as I would like for the cost.
