Reviews say Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 is the best. If you want to shoot underwater... you can buy a good camera and a waterproof housing. Waterproof cams aren't very popular

why waterproof camera ?unless you want to specialize in such kind of photography buy a good dslr and waterproof casing..

Minimum Shutter speed : should support as minimum as possible..like 1/12000 and so on ..will help freeze action
normal focus range :for dslr will depend on lens
macro focus range:for dslr will depend on lens
number of focus points: in general more is better

Just coz of Multi metering mode I cant give a 100/100 to panasonic TS4 ...maybe Olympus TG820iHS is better

spot metering is very important

Minimum Shutter speed - more is better
normal focus range - less is better
macro focus range - less is better
number of focus points - more is better

I don't think other than AW100 any other camera is available in India.

A small correction...
Minimum Shutter speed : Longer the better; 60sec is better than 30sec

The Best Rugged, Waterproof Camera

says Olympus is not good for videos. I still feel getting SX240 or IXUS500 or TZ30 with waterproof casing would be a better idea... since you are spending 30k

If you only want to protect your cam from rains etc. there is Olympus MD5 mirrorless

I generally prefer water places(swimming pool, waterfalls, beach etc) . Last time accidently water spill on my sony cybershot and it costed 3.5k for repair. And also my cell phone got repaired for similar reason.
Thats the main reason i want to buy a waterproof camera

Olympus Tough 810 Point & Shoot: 14 Megapixels: Camera Review, Price in India, Compare: Flipkart.com
