I haven't actually heard of any. If you're willing to spring for it
though, look at the Canon digital SLR camera body that takes normal
camera lenses and buy a waterproof housing for it. (They are usually
some sort of soft plastic body bag or hard plastic shell that fits over
the camera with a hard clear "window" built-in that screws into the
filter mount on the lens so it doesn't look like you're taking pictures
through a clear plastic body bag or hard plastic shell.)
I found some related stuff at:
including what look like waterproof housings for some mainstream digital
cameras.
I mention the Canon digital SLR in particular because it's the cheapest
one out there by a few thousand dollars last time I looked (Which was a
couple of months ago, so things might have changed since then.) that was
a fairly standard SLR body and used "normal" lenses and would be likely
to use one of the standard waterproof housing. It looks from the
website above that you might not need to get so fancy if you can find a
housing for your camera.
Or try this thing that I found on a google search:
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/nsclub2/aqwatcam.html
It's under $20, and I'm sure picture quality will show.
