The Best Rugged, Waterproof Camera

Tough, waterproof point-and-shoot cameras are supposed to be awesome. Small enough to fit in your pocket. Submersible to depths of 40 feet. Able to survive drops from heights above a man's head.

It's as tough as its predecessor, but some new shooting options make things a bit more interesting.
