Any suggestion on shockproof/waterproof compact cameras for taking skiing folks ?
My trusty old Cannon seems to have given up the ghost after 5 years and was gutted not to get some pics during our two sunny days skiing in La Clusaz last week.

Just use a standard Fuji JV110. Keep it in a usual case in my rucksack

It's hard to find a compact camera these days that still has a view finder. Lcd screens are so hard to see in bright sun. Worse for me is that you are forced to hold the camera away from your head to view the screen. Much of the stability needed for zoomed in photos/video comes from holding the camera against your brow, and shortening the arms. This is only possible with a view finder.
Canon Power shot A series cameras still have a viewfinder and take reasonable photos, though not the best. Pretty cheap though, so not a disaster if it breaks.

The Canon G12 is great, solid camera. The next best thing to a DSLR.

If you're back in La Clusaz again, the Roxy Quicksilver shop in the village are now hiring out GoPro Hero 3 helmet cams for 30 euros a day (cheaper day rate for additional days rental)
If searching for a camera, check the minimum operating temperature in the handbook, as I've had the LCD screen on my DSLR freeze and shatter before now!
