#1: Fujifilm FinePix XP10 12 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Green) Reviews!
We use this camera when my expensive Canon is not appropriate - such as around the pool, at the beach, etc. and when it's just nice to have a small camera to tuck in a purse or shirt pocket.
Photo quality is "good enough" - if I really need a better image, I use my Canon. I figure this will get shots I would normally pass on given the environment and conditions.
My wife is the primary user, so the small FF and small buttons don't bother her. She also can deal with the lack of a viewfinder, which I am conditioned to use. Every single time I pick up the camera, I try to look through the non-existent viewfinder!
The only nit (so far) is that I cannot find a way to get the replacement sealing gasket mentioned in the manual. Fuji suggests changing it annually to maintain its waterproof capability. The manual goes on to say "at cost" and contact the place where you purchased or Fuji repair. Figuring Amazon did not have the gasket, I called (and emailed) Fuji. Responses were identical; send the unit in for "repair." I told them I just need the gasket (per the manual) and was not going to incur the shipping and repair costs for a $.50 rubber gasket that THEY recommend I replace. I see this as a battle that will be fought for several months. I can see a situation where I don't replace the gasket, the camera leaks, I send it in, and Fuji says "if you had replaced the gasket, it wouldn't have leaked."
If you own this camera and know how to get a new gasket (happy to pay for the part), please post something here for the rest of us (and Fuji).

Customer Reviews
My daughter uses it at the zoo - B. Cassel -
She's been using it at Lowry Park Zoo to document manatees that are being rehabilitated. This camera has produced some of the best underwater photos I've ever seen. So far it has exceeded our expectations.
