The Canon PowerShot D30 ($329.99) is, from an imaging perspective, a very minor update to the older D20 . Its lens, 12-megapixel image sensor, and image processor are the same, which is to say they're a couple of years old at this point.

Waterproof to 82 feet; Sharp 5x zoom lens; Slow motion video mode; GPS

Images on the noisy side; Slow shot to shot time; 1080p video limited to 24fps; No Wi-Fi

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Large Clear LCD; Small / Compact

I choose the D30 over all the other compact underwater cameras for two reasons: · Image file sizes are smaller, which counts when you take hundreds of photos every day; · Noise reduction has been toned down and does not create a watercolour look in your photos.

Canon's PowerShot D30 is a waterproof and ruggedized compact camera designed to compete with the Nikon Coolpix AW120, Olympus Tough TG-3 , Panasonic Lumix FT5 and Ricoh WG-4 GPS. To keep pace with these cameras, Canon made the D30 considerably tougher than the previous D20.

This camera is well build, with good quality. Has good composite materials, and the rubber makes it suitable in both wet and cold weather conditions. The buttons are well positioned, and the menus are intuitive.
