I'm hopefully going on a couple of trips in the next 9 months where it would be very beneficial to have a waterproof camera (sea kayaking and snorkelling/Diving). Unfortunately the standard waterproof cameras around just seem to be low end point and shoot cameras in waterproof housing, without any manual controls. What's the cheapest option for something small and good waterproof enough to use when kayaking and snorkelling**? I'm wondering if it'll end up being something like a Canon G* with a waterproof housing of some kind but I'm massively out of higher end compact knowledge (don't even know off hand what G* we are up to!)
** I realise diving will be another step up so if the solution was useable there then good but it's not on the list of the needs.
