Fujifilms xp30?

Anyone ever own this camera or it's predecessors? it looks like a fantastic camera that'll really last me since I won't have to baby it around. Waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and freezproof for when it gets cold.

I really like that it's waterproof, I think it'd be awesome to get some underwater pics and videos, around the river I fish. Not to mention I don't have to worry about it when I'm wadding.

And hell, if you haven't used one, what's your two penny's?

Fuji makes a great camera; my last two have been Fuji. One lasted over 5 years and well the other only lasted 2 only because I thought I would see how well it worked in the water (it didn't). It fell off my boat in 8' of water and I couldn't revive her. But I will say it took great pictures. For just taking them outdoors, in snow, rain or sun it should be a great camera. Don't expect to take great indoor pics though.

My buddy has Canon D10 and it works great for water and skiing pics (just thought that I would toss that in there).

I picked up a red olympus x560 waterproof camera from walmart last year for $50, which is about what they go for. 10 megapixel, takes some good pictures if the light is right, and average ones if not. But its cheap, waterproof, and all the other stuff is a given too (if its waterproof, its dustproof).

I like it for documentation purposes. If I ever got a fish that I really want a good picture of, believe it or not I will use my cell camera - which for whatever reason is sharp as can be.
