What is the best underwater (waterproof) digital camera?
I was looking for something no more than $250. I’m going away for 2-3 weeks and I wanted something waterproof so I don’t have to worry about it around the beaches, and for the fun of taking underwater pictures. I was thinking of one of these:

or
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10120489&catid=28382&PCName=camera_Fuji&logon=&langid=EN
Which would be a better buy? I was kind of leaning towards the Olympus, but what is your opinion?
Or do you know of an even better one? THANK YOU!
If you are buying strictly for underwater purposes, I’d go with the Fujifilm. If you are planning on using it frequently, I would go with the Olypmus. Both are good underwater, though, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it on a beach.
Btw, I have a Pentax W10. You may want to look into the Pentax underwater cameras…I love mine 
Good luck!
