Olympus Underwater Camera

What is the best underwater digital camera?

I am looking for an everyday point and shoot digital camera that can fit in my pocket and withstand some water. Olympus Stylus Tough series seems great except all reviews say photos are not sharp and are too soft. Canon D10 says photo quality is great but camera is big and ugly. Any first hand suggestions? I would like to keep the price under $300. I am currently using a Canon G9 as my daily camera but want something smaller.

If you read the conclusion of a group test here, it says that it recommends the Canon D10 and Panasonic TS1 over the others: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/page17.asp

The Pentax W60 happens to be the runner-up, and it should be considered as well if you prefer looks over function.

Have fun and good luck!

Olympus Camera broken?

I went swimming with my Olympus Stylus 850sw in a lake and did take pictures above water, but none under. The camera did go completely underwater, but was always off. (The camera's waterproof for those of you who don't know) Anyway, for the next few days it told me to clean the card with a dry cloth, and then I would and it would work. Now, all I can do is view pictures. When I put it in camera mode, the screen goes black and it starts beeping. You can see some water/fog in the lense and I've left it on for the last week hoping that it will dry out. So far, no luck. Any ideas? Also, I've had it for a year and 3 months so I think the warranty is up.

You're supposed to replace the rubber seals every year to keep it watertight.

Usual routine with a damp camera is to pull the battery and card and place it in a bowl of dry rice to draw out the moisture (leave the door open). Wrapping the camera in a single layer of tissue keeps the rice out of the camera - that stuff is a bugger to get out without tweezers.
