Depends on your use and how much you want to spend..... 1. There are single-use film cameras that vary with the number of pictures you can get out of them and can be as little as $10 or so. 2. There are a handful of digital point and shoot cameras that claim they are waterproof (all have limits) starting around $100. [Use your web browser to search "waterproof digital cameras"] 3. You can buy an underwater case or "housing" for some of the more popular point and shoot and DSLRs (or film cameras) that are not waterproof themselves, and these cases or "housings" can be from +/-$175 and up, over and above the cost of the camera itself. While they also have limits they tend to be dedicated to specific camera brands and/or models. So if you're not interested in one of the "waterproof" digital point and shoots, make sure the camera brand/model you like also has a companion housing available.

There are quite a few companies that make mini video cameras so the answer to your question is yes. Sony is one of the name brand mini video camera makers.
Before buying an underwater housing, you want to read some of the reviews that can be found on the internet. These will tell you how well the housing really works. Having something that is underwater means that it can be rendered completely useless if it is not watertight. While the housing is supposed to be watertight, some companies only make housings that last for a little while before the pressure of the water wears them down. You need to read the reviews to see if the housing that you are thinking about buying is one that is really going to last.
There are many companies that make top quality cameras. Cannon , Sony , Fuji are just a few of the companies that make really good cameras. Depending on the type of camera you are looking for would depend on the company to go with.
Nice question...:) Yes..., BUT, underwater cameras are essentially designed for use underwater, so it also has bulky protective casings which keeps the camera watertight and protects it from getting soaked. So a simple photo shoot would involve you carrying and using bulky large cameras. Yes, it can be used without difficulty. If the waterproof housing is plastic, however, you may lose some focus quality. If the lens iris is adjustable, use a high number to close the lens and increase the quality to make up for it.
