GOOD UNDERWATER CAMERA?

Sunny

I want to get an underwater camera that can get roughed up a lot, stand being in a car in freezing temperatures all night, be dropped, etc, and be ok. I don't do any extreme sports, but whenever i go diving or kayaking or bouldering when hiking or something my little kodak easy share isn't really ideal. I also really want to be able to take underwater photos. I really like using zoom so a good zoom feature would be nice, but i take a lot of distance photos too and video, so 10+ MP. Price should be around $150-200.

I was looking at the Pentax Optio W90 12.1 Mp waterproof, but I want to know all options before i choose this one. It says shock proof to 4 feet but i have accidentally thrown cameras before. And stepped on them...

Thanks!!!!

Whats a good waterproof camera?

Darlene

It needs to be digital, waterproof as in submerging fully underwater, and has the ability to hold a memory card.
I'm not looking for anything more than that, and I want to be able to buy it off amazon for no more than $100

Answer
How does "up to 140 feet under water", "accepts up to 32GB microSDHC" and "shoots both photos and videos" sound to you?
