I would appreciate some feedback from you all about digital waterproof cameras.
I am looking for something that will take a fun point and click photo (ie a 40 inch snook on a tournament measuring board).
Maybe something I can take into the water to photo a manatee or scallop swimming in the water.
Perhaps with a rechargeable battery.
I am not looking for something that I will have to worry with.
Remember I am more frugal than a Jewish Scottsman. Looking for something <$150.
Thank you for your constructive input and KMLN to all the smart assed responses.

]There are a lot of good waterproofs out there. I used to have a Pentax, but I finally drowned it snorkeling. To replace it I did a lot of research and ended up with a Lumix TS20. At the time it was the best balance between quality and price. It is an older model but is still available new at a good price ($119 at B& H).

There are a few cheaper, but anything comparable would run about $200.

Just throwing this out there...All the rage now is to capture HD video and remove a pic from the video. Here's a sample on how.
Frankly it does a pretty reasonable job.
The ion 2 is the answer to the GoPro. I believe the original ion air is now going for $149.
The downside is that at a PFTS it might be a bit cumbersome to get the pic out for closer inspection. However, you do get a water resistant (to 30') camera for reasonable $.
Obviously the Ion2 will be better than the ion first gen.
Now...the gopro is online for $199 at walmart and it comes with a 16GB card. Not a bad deal.

By the time that day comes, technology will have improved so far ,that you can take the picture with a blink of your eye and print/upload the photograph right out of your arse!(ie a 40 inch snook on a tournament measuring board)
