The Bottom Line	For those who need a tough, waterproof, and ultracompact digital camera, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW's strengths outweigh some frustrating usability issues.	A full-featured waterproof/shockproof pocket point-and-shoot, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is a near-perfect rugged camera for everyday use.	For going from snorkeling to rock climbing to everyday life, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is a good choice, though its photos and performance can be disappointing.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	It might not look quite right, but the PowerShot D10 is a solid entry into rugged cameras for Canon.
