I have a Kodak DX4900. I can't say how rugged it is as I haven't beat the thing up but I can say that it takes very high quality photos with no work required on my part. Just point and shoot. I bought it with a Camera Dock so when you want your pictures you place it on the dock and push 1 button for an automatic download to your pc. I also bought a padded case for when we take it on the road...

Its pretty idiot proof which is exactly why I bought it for myself ;-)
