How far away are "really good" tiny cameras for still/video?

Re: Somewhere between 'not anytime soon' and 'never'

You do have a point. 
At the moment I have a really small but very powerful video light on a tiny tray that has been "good enough" for the cold-water, somewhat murky diving I do (with the old GoPro). To really freeze action for quality photos I'd have to add one strobe at the very least and then, as you reminded me, the whole setup really does get bigger.
But lights and arms are fairly robust and foldable. the camera housing is a big lump (at least 6X size of GoPro housing, with multiple, large O-rings etc) and I'm not sure how robust. Certainly any dome port and O-rings need serious care and attention.
Ha ha - there's no silver bullet out there yet...
