Canon PowerShot D20 – the perfect companion for travelers and "light" adventurers
PowerShot D20 is one of the best compact cameras that's waterproof, shockproof, and freezeproof. Sure enough, it's in the league of rugged shooters like Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 , Olympus TG-1 iHS, and the aforementioned Fujifilm FinePix XP170.

Cons:
- Mediocre lens hurts image quality

Canon PowerShot D20 Review: Tough Camera, Weak Performance
Last month we tested the best rugged, waterproof cameras and picked a winner. "But what about the new Canon?" everyone screamed. Fear not. The PowerShot D20 went through some cruel testing over the past couple of weeks. Could it live up? Could it live, period?

[REVIEW-CANON POWERSHOT D20]
This 12 megapixel indestructible compact comes with a 28–140mm zoom and is a successor to the D10. Canon have replaced the weird but attractive body form with something more conventional in shape, although it still has some inexplicable curves and dents.

Canon PowerShot D20
After 3 years, Canon have updated their waterproof camera, the D10. Now, the PowerShot D20 comes with a larger 5x optical zoom, the same 12 megapixel resolution and a slimmer, squarer body. The sensor has new HS technology for good low light performance and there's also a 3 inch LCD screen.

Looks like it has melted. Horrible shape. Just read the review of the new Panasonic F5 rugged camera and whilst a bit more expensive looks nicer and is better specified. I'd get that one if I were after a rugged camera.
