Another person claiming it exists
I received another email from someone claiming Canon will in fact launch a waterproof/shockproof camera for PMA.
Specs
10.1mp
2.5″ LCD
3.5x Zoom (35-122)
Waterproof to 8 meters
Drop resistant to 6 feet
CR's take
This camera concept seems like a no brainer for Canon. Olympus has proven there is a market, time to steal some back. Still take this with a grain of salt, I've received nothing solid from regularly good sources.

Interesting. A good underwater compact would be fantastic. Oly’s do 3 metres or so don’t they? 8m would be a huge improvement.
Olympus have two classes of tough cameras, one rated to 3m and other to 10m. I have seen the better model in 15m with no leak.
5-6 mp with low noise underwater (low noise in red channel) and max depth 20m will be ideal for my snorkling.
Have you got a link to the 10m one?
yep… if they wanted to take it one step further and improve it for diving/snorkling, they can make a provision for an auxilary light…. something a bit more powerful than the built in (with its own power) that is off to the side…there are a couple of manufacturers out there that make compact digitals like (need to look up the name again).
