The Samsung AQ100 is a waterproof shooter while the Samsung SL605 is a so-called durable one, each packing 12-megapixel sensors along with 5x optical zooms and 2.7-inch LCD TFT preview displays.

The AQ100 can be used in up to 10 feet of water, and records 720p HD video along with stills.  It has various “smart”auto modes, along with face detection and smile shot, and measures 3.7 x 2.4 x 0.7 inches; it’ll go on sale this spring for $199.99.

As for the SL605, it’s not exactly rugged but it does have a scratch-proof casing and rubberized bumpers.  You don’t get the HD video recording of the AQ100 – it’ll only shoot VGA 30fps MJPEG footage – but there’s a smart night mode and the rest of the automatic functionality.  It will also go on sale in the spring, priced at $129.99.
