The Bottom Line	If you can get past its poor performance, the waterproof Pentax Optio W10 can take some pretty good shots where others can't even go.	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.	A full-featured waterproof/shockproof pocket point-and-shoot, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is a near-perfect rugged camera for everyday use.	It might not look quite right, but the PowerShot D10 is a solid entry into rugged cameras for Canon.	For those who need a tough, waterproof, and ultracompact digital camera, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW's strengths outweigh some frustrating usability issues.
