Olympus Mju 850 SW (shock and water resistant) £136.04 delivered @ Amazon

Got this camera last year, and most of my friends also have this camera (we windsurf). Its great, we can take it with us out on the water to film/photograph good footage. The picture quality is amazing, and there are several functions you can use to improve the quality. Despite me having dropped it a couple of times, theres barely any visible scratches.
9/10 camera for me, and i paid £185 for it last year.


note: when i bought mine last year, i recieved a small xD card slot thing that would take microSD cards. So i could take my phone memory card and put it into my camera when i ran out of space on my other xD card. good lil backup.

also, if you buy an official olmpus xD card, you can take panoramic pictures (i've never tried to do so myself, so can't comment on the quality and ease)
