Due to my recent trip post from Plymouth of the underwater pics of various fish species. I've gotten quite a few PM's and comments on what type of camera I used. So I am posting this to show everyone. It's an Olympus Stylus Tough 8010, it's a 14 megapixel camera with an O-ringed battery/SD card compartment, as well as O-ringed/sealed user-display buttons and shutter button. It's actually quite old as well, at least 5-6 years old. The newest version of my camera is the TG-820 iHS listed on this link. In my opinion it takes higher quality picture/video than a GoPro, and has much better light absorption for underwater pics, something the GoPro often struggles with (they designed a special lens solely for underwater photography at GoPro) - the only drawback to my camera is it's not as "extreme sports portable" as a GoPro. It's heavy and awkward on a hat-cam mount, so I usually just carry it when I am not using it underwater. But it has plenty of photo editing options built right into the in-camera software, and has many features of legitimate $1,000+ underwater digital cameras. Overall I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Not bad for 250 bucks.
Also, here's the link to the newer version of my camera. http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/tough/tg-820-ihs.html[/img][/url]
