Waterproof camera with Manual mode

[Amp34]

Anyone know of any decent waterproof compacts that have a manual mode?

There are loads around but as far as I can see they are all just standard auto compacts. I'm just looking for one which I can get wet when in a pool, rafting or somewhere I wouldn't want to use my DLSR, so the usual 1.5-5m depth rating etc would be fine.

Ideally a waterproof Canon G11 would be great.

Why not get a waterproof housing? The standard canon one for the G11 is about £180 new, maybe less if you look around.

The S90/95/100 series are very popular for U/W with the canon housings being around £150.

Take a look at cameras underwater or Bristol cameras as a starting point

Because it makes things much more bulky and a bit overkill for what I want really, as well as making things significantly more expensive.

Panasonic appear to have a waterproof cam released with a manual mode.

There seem to be a lot of complaints about it leaking though...

Thats's the sort of thing I'm looking for though, just something I can stuff in my pocket and have some control over.
