My first ever time in this part of the forums. I'm off to Fiji in June/July and I want to get an underwater digital camera. I was in thailand a few times and I really regret not having a decent camera for underwater shots.

I don't want anything out of this world, simple point and click camera with decent picture quality. I'll not be scuba diving, just snorkelling so only needs to be waterproof to maybe 5 meters maximum.

However, it needs to take good pictures out of the water as well, so it can't be only for underwater.

All ideas/suggestions greatfully received...willing to spend up to around £300-£400...but would prefer to spend less.
 
Went to the Maldives last year and took a Fuji f100fd with the Fuji FXF100 casing which I used for snorkelling and diving and it produced fantastic shots.

Some pictures I took:

All taken in the 'underwater' setting.

Brilliant camera out the water too, obviously. Highly recommend it. :)

Edit - whoops, old thread.
 
The camera, memory card and underwater housing came to just under £300 at the time, will probably be a bit cheaper now as the camera was fairly new at the time.
