Rugged Point & Shoot

[2new]

My cousin owns a landscape business & is looking for several small Point & shoot cameras.

Does anyone make a heavy duty or rigged point & shoot?

or a 'Rubberized' case for a canon P&S?

Thanks,
Michael

What's the concern? Bouncing around inside a truck or other equipment, environmental hazards, ham-fisted users, etc.? A good solid well-cushioned hard-sided travel case could help for some situations; some type of underwater housing could help in others. (I suspect the former is of more concern.) But maybe the best answer is just to use a cheap"disposable" digital camera, and plan on junking them at short intervals as a cost of business... sad, but perhaps true.

Exactally! I think you hit the nail on the head

My A80 is pretty rugged, its still a camera with moving lens elements and delicate electronics inside.

I think Olympus make a weather sealed compact, that is lightly water resisitant.

But, your Cus' might be better of getting something really cheap, and be prepared to have to replace it a couple of times a year.
