I have used several of the cameras mentioned but right now I'm using a FUJI with 10x zoom. I think it takes great pictures in many different settings. Here are a few examples for you.

I also cast a vote for the Fuji. I have the model with the 30X optical zoom.
Great quality, even on the long zoom. HD video. User friendly. Great price.
Olympus makes a nice series of small pocket sized point and shoots...The SW series...they are nearly indestructible.
Waterproof to about 30ft, can survive a drop onto a hard surface of about 5ft...and they take nice pics. The zoom is not great, but any camera I can keep in my pocket while swimming at Mayfield falls is OK with me :-)
Haha! ThanksOriginally Posted by Sophie2012
Wow, this picture is beautiful. This is the type of clarity (no pun intended!) I am looking for
I chose that picture because it demonstrates a cool feature of the camera. It has an HDR option – It takes several pictures at the same time and does this merge thing, so that the details in the shadows come out and the Bright areas don’t get blown out. This picture was taken using that function on the camera.
IMHO Sony Cybershot delivers the best Bang for the buck.
Tizzy – The optical zoom is great in my newer model camera. I did have some problems in regards to the quality diminishing after a certain amount of X zooms. Once you reached 12X zoom for example, The picture didn't look as crisp.
STL & Lorax2 – Beautiful pictures!!

I've used 3 different cameras in Jamaica. I always have my big digital zoom with me but I find I carry the small point and shout waterproof camera more just because it's more convenient and durable. Doesn't matter if it starts to rain or I drop it or I want to take it in swimming or snorkeling. I've used a Canon D10 and a Panasonic TS2. Panasonic just came out with the TS3 now which has built in GPS. Wish I had waited a year for the TS3

I use a Canon SX230IS. It has great optics and can record true HD video. I have posted some pics in the Fav Pics thread. What ever camera you decide on, get the highest class memory card that you can. It will help with shooting speeds. I use Class 10 cards.

The pictures taken with the Panasonic are GREAT! Nice to see Mike & crew on the water, I know you had a good time. How is the video on this camera?
Any advice for camera novices with an Olympus SP-810UZ / 14megapixels -- 36x zoom?? Badnaz got this camera as a Christmas present from my mother and we just opened it last week. Our previous experience was a Casio and Nikon point and shoots.
This one looks a little intimidating / oh yeah we leave in 2 days.

Nice pic of the seahorses.
Sweetsue - It takes great video. The TS3 shots Full HD: 1920 x 1080 pixels. My TS2 shots 1280 x 720. The following video was shot with the TS2 at 1280 x 720 (Ignore my fat finger in the way for part of it)
