What are good waterproof digital compact cameras?

olympus waterproof digital camera 6020 image

James

I'm looking to spend about £150-200 on a new camera and I'd like one that's waterproof (for hiking/trekking), freezeproof (for snowboarding) and fairly good low light performance.

I know I'm asking a lot and I'm prepared to compromise a little, but not that much. Any help much appreciated.

Answer
Nikon AW100 has just been announced, seems like a wonderful camera, but it's pretty expensive.
Take a look at Olympus 6020, Panasonic TS3 or Kodak C123.
