You'd be hard pressed to see a difference in quality between it and an SLR, but importantly, especially for more rugged travel, it fits in your pocket. The only downside is the limited focal range (24-60), but besides that, it's been a wonderful travel companion.

I really wanna take up diving or snorkeling just so I have an excuse to get a waterproof camera. The Olympus Tough series is very tempting, though as a Canon fan, the new waterproof one is also quite tempting. Gadget lust!

I don't have one, but I have seen my friend whip his against the wall just to prove how indestructible it was. the wall didn't fare very well, but the camera still worked. (not recommended at home kids.) Another friend showed me his great underwater pictures. We have used Canon point and shoots and had bad luck. But our Canon SLR is fantastic.

Several people in my family have purchased Olympus of Fuji, consumer-level digital cameras and have found themselves searching for affordable XD media. We all know that's impossible. I can't say for sure about all of the waterproof designs, but I noticed that the PEN E-P1 accepts XD OR Micro-SD media. While I would prefer standard SD sized cards, Micro-SD is still pretty cheap. Glad they are moving in the right direction. Todd, you point out my major complaint with Olympus cameras over the year.

My only beef with them is their proprietary and generally more expensive memory cards (xD)...hopefully we'll get convergence or standards someday (or pictures will just be stored in the cloud instead of on hard media). I've got a flip and I love its light weight, makes it much easier to justify adding to my pack. We'll have to see how Flip (Cisco) decides to innovate, since the iPhone can record video and is likely to do so in HD as well.

Its very similar to the Olympus SW range. The Pentax W60 would be another good addition to this list. Its very similar to the Olympus SW range.
