I bought the new Fujifilm FinePix 10 megapixel Waterproof camera.  I liked the features including a blog mode where I can re size pictures for posting on sites such as NCKA (probably the only site I will post to).

I will add to this once I have had a chance to put the camera through its paces.  The specs are below.  I picked it up for 199 at best buy and an extra 35 for a two year warranty which means it can go to any depth within two years...

This digital camera features picture stabilization and face detection technologies as well as a water-resistant body that allows you to capture images at a depth of up to 10' for exciting underwater pictures.
