If you've ever dropped a digital camera in the drink, you know your heart sinks just as fast as your once cutting-edge point-and-shoot. Aside from being waterproof to 10 meters (33 feet), the TG-810 can also withstand shocks from drops up to 2m (6.6 feet), temperatures of -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit), the TG-801 is also crush-proof. Basically, if you want to go to the beach, go snorkelling, skiing or just out for a family trip to the park, you're covered.

Olympus Tough TG-810
$399.99
Crushproof: Withstands up to 100KG (220lbs) of force
Drop proof: Withstands drops up to 2m (6.6ft)
Freeze proof: Functions in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit)
Waterproof: Submersible (and usable) at depths of up to 10m (33ft)
3-inch HyperCrystal LCD panel
14-megapixel CCD sensor
5x optical zoom
720p HD video recording
HDMI connection for output to an HDTV or other source
GPS for geotagging
At $400, for a point-and-shoot camera, you'd expect a pretty full-featured camera that's going to last you for several years. Specs wise, the Olympus Tough TG-810 looks like it'll do just that; crisp and clear 14MP stills, 720p video recording, scene modes, art filters and even geotagging via the included GPS receiver. As a Tough camera that can witstand just about anything you can throw at it (or indeed, that you can throw it at), the TG-810 will last on the durability front too.
Waterproof cameras aren't just about snorkelling. Dust and sand are the enemies of a digital camera. With a completely sealed waterproof housing, you're not just protected from dips in the drink, but also from dust, sand, grit, snow, rain and anything else you may encounter.
The TG-810 is expensive, but it's also solid and fully specced point-and-shoot camera.
