Here's the latest offering from the Olympus "Tough" series:
Olympus launches Tough TG-1 iHS higher-spec rugged, waterproof camera: Digital Photography Review
While it's just a point-and-shoot, it has some features that appeal to me, most notably GPS and compass capabilities for instant geotagging of photos. I'm an oil spill response consultant, and being able to take decent quality geotagged photos in rough environments is an important aspect of what we do. A rugged waterproof camera with good picture quality and a moderate price tag is very appealing.
Oh, and taking it to the beach to record the experiences of the grandkids without worrying about salt spray...priceless!
Not for everyone, but I'm "serious" about it...
