Is Nikon Coolpix S32 photo quality better than an iphone?

I'm looking for an affordable waterproof camera and found the Nikon Coolpix S32. I know this camera is geared more towards children, so I was wondering if the photo quality is ok? Is it better than an iphone? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just need a point of reference.
I'm also considering the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25, which is much more expensive. I have heard that the camera quality on many rugged cameras is comparable and not much different, so would it be worth the extra money to go with the supposedly nicer camera?

Oh yeh

Almost any modern camera will be better than most phone cameras. I suggest the Coolpix S32 as a better camera. It shoots 1080p video, while the Panasonic only shoots 720p video.

Want a waterproof, dustproof, sandproof, freezeproof, shockproof, and crushproof camera with excellent optics?

You can let a terrible-twosome handle it without feeling stupid.

The photo quality of the Nikon S32 is OK. Yes, it is better than the iPhone.

Generally speaking, the more you spend for a camera (and most other things) the better the quality, of both the camera and the photos. Here is the most extensive review of waterproof cameras that I know of.

  • Why does my iPhone receive good quality videos as bad quality videos? So I recently met a famous guy in concert and when I got a picture wth him I was getting a video and my friend used her phone to video it. So she sent it to me and it was like terrible quality and the video was like little with a huge black border around it. But yet it looks perfectly fine on her phone? How do I fix it? Whenever I try to get video editing apps it always says error & only with that particular video. I have an iPhone 5c, and so does my friend.
  • Which is better for me. Nikon or iPhone? Okay, we'll I'm getting my sister something, actually. Her birthday is oh Christmas. My whole family is chipping in. & she really deserves it. She has been good, and works for her money. Also, double the gifts, the usual.So. She said she either wanted the iPhone 5 or the Nikon d3000. There both around 400 500 bucks. She takes pictures everyday of an iPod… But the camera isn't good at all. She is 12 turning 13.So which one should we get?
  • What has better video quality Nikon d3100 or iphone 4s? Thank you No, it isn't a joke. They both have video recording capability so I'm just wondering if the Nikon has better quality.
  • Nikon coolpix p7700 has decent sound quality at concerts? I will be using the camera also for concerts as well as taking pictures in the odd place/holiday. I just need to know if the sound is good or not? As long its better than my HTC desire c microphone because the sound quality of that on playback was absolutely horrid and when I took iPhone 4s to concert that microphone was completely fine. Is the camera just as good?
