Well if finally happened, after a few years of trouble free abuse, I dunked my sony camera in the drink today after snapping a few photos of fish. What should I replace it with, and what is everyone using these days? Obviously looking for decent waterproof/resistant

Olympus TG 820.

*Super bright, crisp, clear night shots ( I have had too many "grainy" night shot cameras)
*No shutter lag time at all (another issue with cameras at night) what that means is when you push the button, it takes the pic instantly... not after an annoying half second delay.

I have the TG-1 too and it's a great camera for fishing..I give it a little extra protection with a pelican case .....great night shots...very versatile for my kids sports as well..I still rotate in a Pentax Optio W80 that I've had forever and it's a good one

ive had my fuji finepix for 4 seasons and its still going, thing stays in a wet plug bag all season, and is just attached with a lanyard, no case or anything, short $$$$ too Johnny like $150

shoots really good video too and the night pictures are actually really good, plus its a smaller camera and just fits anywhere
