After extensively researching these for an upcoming trip to the beach, I've found that a less expensive alternative to buying another digital camera just to get underwater shots is Waterproof Marine Case. Here were two of the cameras and two cases that I loved.

 
Ikelite Underwater Systems Marine case for digital photo camera - Clear Polycarbonate 
The housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 125 feet. The flash built into the camera operates fine in the housing and provides very fine photos. This is designed for Nikon Coolpix 2000.


Universal underwater digital camera case DiCAPac WP-500 WP500, waterpooof housing for Canon Sony Olympus Kodak features:
  • Guaranteed underwater performance for up to 33ft (10m) depth
  • UV coated optical lens
  • Transparent and flexible case for convenient camera buttons control
  • Reliable double seal closing system with waterproof zipper and Roll & Velcro opening
  • User friendly operation   Detachable neck strap

The Intova IC600 digital camera is really a kit that includes a 6 mega-pixel digital camera and a underwater housing. With this kit you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the surface. This easy to use camera is good to depths of up to 180' (54 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.

The DC600 offers 6.1 million pixels allowing for sharp enlargements, colorful slide shows, and even videos with audio. Long-life rechargeable batteries that take over 100 pictures or last for two dives, 3X optical zoom, and macro capable to 2 inches, combine to make the DC600 the most advanced digital dive and water sports camera available. SeaLife’s Land & Sea Color Modes allow for richer colors in the toughest environments. Specifically for diving the Sea Mode takes underwater conditions into account and adjusts exposure control and color correction. External Flash Mode integrates with SeaLife external flash accessory to enhance color brightness underwater.
Have fun taking great pictures!
