Hi all, as the title suggests I'm after a simple to use, relatively small, point and shoot digital camera that can also be used underwater if required. I'm not after utter professional photos, just something to capture the moment in as good a quality as possible for an amateur like me, the first big test will be on honeymoon to Borneo next month.

So far my review reading has come up with a first choice of the Fuji FinePix F200EXR camera combined with the WP-FXF200 Underwater housing, best price I have found is around the £380 mark with a 2GB SD card.

Before I go ahead and order one, does anyone have any personal experience of this camera (good or bad), or are ther other cameras I should be considering?

Budget is up to £500 ish.

Many thanks for any advice.

You can buy waterproof housings for most cameras - if you have one already it'll save you cash.

A friend of mine has just bought a Canon D10 and is impressed with it.
