Newbie need advice

[Dor1813]

Hi

I have recently lost my new Lumix FT4 to the ocean (thanks to my guide)
I need to get another digital camera before my next trip.

I do not know much about cameras for underwater photography but have heard about the Olympus TG2. I have tried the Canon S100 and it is not bad too. Just need a good point and shoot with not much need for adjustments. My budget is about $400.

Any advice or input is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Adorama has an incredible deal going on the Olympus EPL-1 and housing for $399. This is the camera that got me into underwater photography -- prior to having it, my pictures were so uninteresting and poor quality (with low-end P&S's) that I had no desire to work any harder at taking them.

HERE is a rather randomly chosen album of recent photos I took with mine . . .
