Pentax K10D's can be had on fleabay for $350 after the live cashback and you just have to pair it up w/ a $700 DA*50-135 lens to make it splashproof. People have done demos where they run the setup under a kitchen sink for a while and they've been dropped in mud and they keep shooting.

Olympus's DSLR system is also weatherized.

LOL...camera geek I be :-)
I like my K10D quite a bit...I'll be shooting near waterfalls with it out in the open and only worry about mist getting on the lens while everyone else is putting bags on the cameras to keep them from getting wet ;-)
