Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5, £299.99

There's not much that this waterproof compact can't do. One, it's in the jazziest shade of blue, and two, it's got 16.1m megapixels, 3D shooting capability and is freeze-proof, if you fancied taking it to the South Pole. Not just a pretty face.

Fujifilm FinePix XP60, £129.99

This canary yellow number packs a real punch – 16.4m megapixels, optical stabilisation (so you can kick it around as much as you like and the image stays static) and it's waterproof to six metres. And if you do take it underwater, it'll never get lost…
