What is it: Rugged, 12-megapixel compact camera
What we think: Looks great and dives deep, but the 3x zoom and modest shockproofing are limitations

We like:
Wacky styling and classy colour scheme; 10m depth rating; very sharp fine detail
We don't like:
Limited zoom range; barrel distortion at minimum zoom; fat body doesn't make it any easier to grip
CNET UK judgement:
Canon's one of the latecomers to the emerging underwater-camera market, but the wait's been worth it, because the PowerShot D10 is very, very different. It adds a real splash of style to a sector populated by some pretty staid-looking cameras. The D10 could be scuppered, however, by its basic 3x zoom lens

Hands-on: Canon PowerShot D10, SX200, A110, A2100, and IXUS 990, 100, 95 and 110

Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1
When its 3D function works, it's good, but it's too reliant on the right conditions and expensive display media
