Canon PowerShot D10
Competitors

As well as being compared against other waterproofs, the Canon PowerShot D10 is also often compared to compacts, entry-level DSLRs and travel zooms. The Canon PowerShot D10's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix AW100 and the Coolpix S30) and Canon (such as the PowerShot D20 and the ELPH 100 HS)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon D10 compared to other waterproof competitors include: it has a significantly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.9), has slightly less shutter lag (330 ms vs 1680 ms) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/5000 of a second vs 1/1500 of a second).
