My latest Forbes.com article, detailing the best summer vacation cameras, ran today.

I mostly talk about the different varieties of tough, durable cameras, ones with waterproof, shockproof, and dust/sandproof bodies that can withstand a lot of abuse. There’s a lot of variance between models, not just aesthetically, but with their limits. Some can handle more than others, and it takes a little looking to find out exactly what each is capable of. The Panasonic TS1 (pictured) is probably my favorite of the bunch, blending a tough, attractive case with great photo quality and HD video.
