Vivitar 8400 is quite a good little one, cheap and an 8.1meg CCD. Cheap and cheerful.
It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
How deep do you plan on taking it? There are a bunch that are inherently waterproof to anywhere from 10ft to 40ft. One of my favourites is the Kodak PlaySport Zx3, paid $139 CAD and it takes nice outdoor photos and video is very nice too, right up to 1080p.
As a scuba diver, my 'real' camera is a Canon G12 in an Ikelite housing, but that's well beyond a cheap camera for a vacation.
I would not recommend this guy...
