Skillet - I bought the Pentax Optio 20 last year to use on backpacking and fishing trips, and it's definitely waterproof. It's even been in the ocean a few times. The picture quality is pretty good outside and decent underwater..

However...picture quality is dowright shittay indoors - anything that requires a flash, and the camera has a hard time focusing. I don't know how many pictures my wife has taken of our daughter where the background is crisp and the baby is fuzzy. She hates that.

One more bonus - it has an excellent macro mode, you can take some extreme closeups for a point n shoot.

Cliff notes - outdoor/underwater, great; indoors, shittay.
