    Hello

    My friend is looking for a new camera and i know nothing about them so thought id get some advice from people who know their stuff.

    Budget is <£200

    Waterproof
    HD Video with audio would be a plus
    good all round picture
    damage proof lol

    any thoughts on some decent ones ?

    In price order:

    Olympus Tough TG-310
    Fuji Finepix XP30
    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT10
    Olympus Tough TG-610
    Pentax Optio WG-1

    All have some form of shock resistance, waterproof, etc but I haven't used any personally to be able to recommend one over the other.

    ATM, I have an old Finepix S5600. Very good camera for the money (can get it for £100).
