The shock proof is Olympus 720SW. One of the earlier shock & waterproof cameras. The range is vastly expanded and improved now. Handy & practical.
The other is Canon SX110IS - very nice to have full manual and quite a fast lens at f2.8 - better than most compacts. Lately has been 'upspecced' to SX130 with longer zoom but carries the penalty that the best aperture is now about f3.4 or something like that.
If both of these were lost or stolen I would look at the new Canon S95 - very tasty - extremely fast (for compact) f2.0, full manual and very small. However, can't justify the expense if I still have working cameras in my pocket.
