After having drowned two Olympus tough cameras (at only 4m depth, both times!), I’m now on my third which is a Panasonic Lumix. But it had a small piece break off whilst I was in the US. I’m starting to think that these things aren’t living up to their name.
One of my friends shared with me a magazine, “Tech living.” It has a section in it that reviews the popular makes of such cameras, namely Olympus, Fuji, Nikon and Panasonic. Of these, it sounds like Nikon comes out the winner.
See the review pictured below:
Look over the Pentax Optio WG-1 or WG-2. I’ve found them excellent for both below (to ~10 meters) and above water with both stills and short videos – robust and take quite a beating.

Thanks David. That brand is not commonly advertised here but I’ll definitely look into it when my Panasonic Lumix fails.
