It is hard to beat Pentax WR90 (or even its successor - don't remember, is
it WR 95?) in a bang-for-the-buck papameter.  90-s are discontinued - good!
I've got mine used for $70, and had occasion to dunk it into water, which
didn't affect performance.  Optical features are very good too. Next WR
model has some minor drawbacks - again, don't remember whether it is lens
aperture or somethins else, - but still should be fine for that price (200
or so).
