Tough camera
I am seeking a camera for my 3yo daughter.
It must be tough and resistant, maybe even waterproof, but with decent performance.
And not too expensive... ;)
This need not be the latest model.
Have you any experience with this type od cameras? Maybe someone (preferably in Poland) has used camera of this sort and want to sell it? ;)
Satoshi T I used Olympus TG-2 for dirty, wet, dangerous environment. It is very tough, and water-resistant. I have dropped it from the height of 2m, but it does not matter at all. And I always use it for checking sewage pipe. After working, I can wash it in the water! Very reliable, I recommend. :D
Ian Prince The "camera search" here gives a good idea of the kind of photos you can get :) See for example tookapic.com/search?q=tg&s...

Kazzi I'd recomment - as a completely childrenproof cameras - Nikon Coolpix S32/33 (or it's newer, but twice as expensive iteration - W100.
I sold lots of those and it's a really nice camera for children - totally simple.
Also, from a "normal tough camera" shelf, random order - older models of Fuji XP_0 / Nikon's AW / Olympus TG (newer than 830 preferably) are worth considering, and if You find Olympus TG-1 for a desired price it would be a jackpot.
Look through allegro or even better - OLX, since it has incredible amount of used cameras that aren't present at our biggest auction site.
Wouldn't recommend: Panasonic models (CCD sensor in 2016, really?) or AW100 from Nikon (bought it for my Mum for birthday and we both were totally disappointed... but for a child, it could be a cheap, rugged option).
