The PowerShot D10 is Canon's first waterproof camera and we've managed to grab some snaps of it so you can see what it's really like up close and personal.

The PowerShot features a 12.1-megapixel sensor, backed by the DIGIC 4 processor with a host of smart on-board technologies, and a 3x zoom lens with image stabilisation.

Around the back you’ll find a 2.5-inch PureColor LCD II display, protected by a 2mm shield so you don’t smash it up whilst out on your adventures. It also offers double the brightness of Canon’s normal LCD II displays.

As a camera designed for action it is also shock resistant, so will survive drops, whilst also reaching the IPX6 standard, meaning it is waterproof up to a depth of 10 metres.

There will also be a wide range of accessories to accompany the new camera, which can be yours for £379, available at the end of April.
