This camera has something special for the outdoor enthusiast. It is shock-proof, water proof and weather-proof, so that you can use it at the beach, in the pool, while hiking, camping, mountain biking or even in light rain. As far as specs go, it has a 7.1 megapixel CCO, 3x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD. What's nice is that you get 24 different scene modes to choose from, so that you get great pictures in any conditions. It can also record VGA video (640 x 480 pixels @ 15 fps) with sound.

Now, the ruggedness that is built-in doesn't mean that it is only meant for the outdoors, but it also stand up to a lot of daily bumps and grinds really well. So, if someone in your family is a bit clumsy, or you want your kids to start photography early, this is an ideal gift.
