The Canon PowerShot D10 so far is the closest thing to the Beatles' yellow submarine you can find right now in a waterproof, shockproof camera. Canon hoisted it by some carabiners and climbing rope, though it didn't actually bang against the faux rock wall in the display. It's got a 12-megapixel sensor and a 3x zoom. It'll cost $329.99 when it ships in early May. It can take a 5-foot drop, 33-foot immersion underwater, and temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
