Anyone have experience with this camera?
My daughter is looking for a rugged P & S. She has lost an iPhone and a small Canon to water damage (one to a stream, the other to indoor plumbing) and is intrigued by the waterproof and rugged features. Most on line prices run 250 to 300 but she has found one at Target for 200.
She wants something that will comfortably always be with her; does a lot of relatively close up work, people, campsite critters and some scenery.
Any suggestions much appreciated and in the mean time I'll continue to search for on-line reviews and other options.
Thanks,
Rob

Pretty much everything I have read and heard about that specific camera has been very positive, for $200 I don't think you could go wrong?
