There is new generation of small quite simple digital cameras intended for outdoor sports, snorkeling, use at the beach etc.. They are basically not different from the other ones but in a more robust enclosure and have little to none extra elements that can be broken off. As an add on they are usually quite water proof. Not for diving but a depth up to 3 ft is usually no problem. The surcharge for the robustness is usually very low.
