What you want to do is not easy.
Actually, I believe it is VERY HARD to do it properly!
BUT, you may find some feaseable alternatives.

I use an "regular" camera at Niagara Falls.
An UV filter on lens + a sun hud well fixed (not really water sealed), and the camera and the lens in a transparent plastic bag, sealed around the hud.
It has performed well, the bag was with little air and large enough to allow any move / command to camera. No water drop under UV filter, just nice!
PROs: waterproof - sort of.
CONs: the plastic bag has to be replaced after some (short) time.

I saw last year something similar made specifically from silicon with an glass sealed on a side. If I re-found it, I'll post here!
