From another thread, regarding the Canon D10 ... I think it's good down to ten meters ...

My son, age 10, tried to kill it by opening the battery compartment door underwater. After the trip, I packed it in rice and later baked it in the oven. Works as good as new.
It lacks manual control, but you can trick it into generally doing what you want. and it's bulky. |
... but not as bulky as a proper waterproof housing for your dSLR ... and not that much more expensive, plus you end up with a "backup" camera you can use anywhere.
