Answer 1

Check out the Olympus Stylus 1050SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom at:

While other digital cameras may use touch screens to access settings, the new Stylus 1050 SW has a shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof body that is sensitive to touch all over.



The rugged 10.1-megapixel Stylus 1050 SW is designed to take the hard knocks that everyday life--particularly those with kids--can throw its way, so you know that the memories it captures will be protected. It can handle five-foot drops to the hard ground, operate in freezing snowstorms, and swim with the fishes -- lethal conditions for most other digital cameras.



Additionally, the sleek, lens-protecting faceplate slides down, turning the camera on and revealing the lens in an instant to capture the moment.

Answer 2

you need a camera that has a shutter speed of about 1/1000 of a second or less. In the olden days of film cameras, shutter speed was the amount of time that the film was exposed. e.g. 1/1000 of a second. A fast shutter speed " froze" the image. Slower speeds caused blurring. Digital cameras tend to be slower, you will have to research the shutter speed of each camera you are interested in. Just remember you want the fastest speed you can afford. Unfortunately, for the digital camera faster is more expensive. For the money, I look into a used film camera. My film camera a NIkon FE2 it is over 20 years old but it has a top end shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second. This camera is one of the fastest ever made. You can take freeze an image of a airplane propeller in flight. .

KenRockWell is an expert in camera's, he has tested well over thousand of cameras. Canon A580 is the cheapest choice for Quality to price of only $135 he compared this camera and its not far off from the $6000 camera in Quality, also has recorded and video and is super compact fits into your pocket.



He has other recommended cameras such as nikon d40.

Scroll down the page on Kenrockwell's recommended camera's and you'll see other cameras.

Nikon d40 won't be for you as it has no video or recorded but don't take

me for granted if you decided you want one. Nikon d40 is a great camera, but the other ones are for you as of recording & video.



Kenrockwell has great recommendation if you follow his advice.

- If you have lots of money then get the nikon d90, it has video &

recording that is much more superior to all other cameras.

Very high Definition video recording and very fast action this

will cost $1,000 so my recommendation is stick to the Canon A580 of $135. If you want a better upgrade then get the Canon SD750 which is $170 which would personally be my first choice as it takes better videos/ pictures, The best is of course nikon d90.



If you want to talk more professional with the best of all cameras then get the nikon d3 of a mere $6000.

hasselblad is the world's best camera infact with a mere 31 mega pixles with a price over $25,000 If you are super rich then get this one

Canon A530 is the one that compares to the $6000 quite well. Canon A530 is I save for mere last. Price of $137.

This is a great choice. Get this One if you want great photos.

Get the Canon SD750 if you want better video performance.

If You you want shutter speed, I have a nikon d200 with well over 1/8000 of a sec of a shutter speed.



I never use my nikon d200's shutter speed of 1/8000 of a sec. I always I use speeds between 1/250 and 1/500 like 99% of the time and fast moving cars with 1/1000 of a sec which these cameras I suggested goes up that high.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_D1



Nikon d1 has a shutter speed well over 1/16000 of a sec but this is an old camera.



For sports and rugby, 1/250 to 1/500 is enough. Don't bother

with high shutter speed camera's unless you want to take an rocket at still motion. The camera's I'd sggested are very good and fast with super video performance and resonable shutter speeds that are good enough for you.
