Gift Guide: Olympus Stylus 1030 SW

Olympus Stylus 1030 SW (Jock, Under $500)
Point-and-shoot cameras are designed for maximum convenience, but that all usually ends once you get out of the house and into the great outdoors: they just aren't built for spills. Olympus's 1030 SW is pound-for-pound the most rugged camera on the planet, able to snap photos in extreme cold and heat, on land and sea?down to a scuba-worthy 33-feet below. It's also crush proof up to 220 pounds and can take a drop from over six feet. You'll also be happy to know it takes exceptional pictures, has a wide angle lens and 3.6x zoom, and fits comfortably in a pocket. The only question we have is why all other cameras aren't built this well.
Price: $350

I got the 7MP version of this for my wife. Identical specs, but only 7MP. And it rocks. Picture quality is very good, but not quite as good as cameras with bigger lenses. But to be able to take the camera literally everywhere and not worry about it is awesome! We take it with us to the beach, to water parks, etc and it stays around my wrist, completely underwater most of the day without issue. I love it.
