Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5

I love it, it's full of functions and modes and stuff... But does it really go underwater ? I mean it looks fragile and the front panel has already moved a little since I have it (20 months or so).. Colossus with clay feet Problems: Not very reassuring as a antishock camera

Bought this camera for it's pocketability, wide-angle lens and waterproof abilities. It's for family outings in the canoe, at the beach, pool, splash-park and whenever pocketabiilty is desired.

I got that after I returned the Olympus 8010, which was a really horrible camera. I nearly gave up (again!) on small sensor cameras, but then I gave the tiny Sony a spin and I love it! it is as small as it is just barely holdable, but then it slips in any pocket. image quality is acceptable, but again for its size I'd say it is pretty good. I miss some rudimental manual adjustements, but then such a camera is not really made for that. the surface is a bit too slippery, but I stuck on a bit of ...
