Cameras
Digital cameras used to be both fragile and super expensive, but now you can get Olympus's ruggedized shooter for $229. Like most of its burly contemporaries, it's resistant to shock, extreme temperatures and dust. Plus, it can shoot under up to 10 feet of water. It captures 720p HD video and even has face detection that works on your dog. The best part is that with cameras that are both cheap and tough, it opens up all kinds of new photo-taking opportunities. Want a unique ocean picture? Set the self-timer and huck it down the beach. If it breaks, you're not out much dough. If it works, you're a modern artist. Available in February.
