It's been a while since she had her own camera. Recently she's been borrowing mine. But that can be inconvenient and it didn't let her keep one with her.
There are a zillion point and shoot cameras out there. To get around the tyranny of choice, I narrowed it down to waterproof, shockproof ones. I looked at the reviews for the Olympus Stylus Tough, Canon PowerShot D10, Pentax Optio W90, and the Panasonic TS2.
The TS2 got some good reviews so that's the one I chose.
I've been quite impressed with it. We didn't actually use it underwater, but it's really nice for diving and kayaking to not have to worry about getting it wet. (Tip: get a flotation strap for it in case you drop it in the water, otherwise it'll sink!)
It shoots quite good video, but the default AVCHD mode is a pain to work with since most software doesn't handle it (yet).
Here are a few samples from it: (minor tweaks in Lightroom as usual)
If you're looking for a waterproof, shockproof camera, you might want to have a look at the TS2.
