I have one too and have taken it on a couple of wet vacations. It is also very handy to dunk into the tank and take in tank photos and videos

Almost bought an Olympus myself but got this one instead (edged out the Olympus in a couple areas): http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=18332

I had always bought an olympus in the past. However, this time I changed up and got the Canon D10 powershot. I love it!

I had two Olympus cameras, one i lost when my canoe turned over, the other leaked in the 3 feet of water on Maui vacation.
If you go with Olympus make sure you tape the battery compartment with thick sticky tape and you will be fine !

Bottom line is that the Canon is the biggest and bulkiest but takes the best pictures. The problem with the Olympus cameras is both power and shutter lag.

This review doesn't include the brand new Sony TX5 which looks sweet.

All of these "waterproof" cameras have had reported leakage issues. You have to treat them quite gingerly as their seals seem to be quite delicate. You gotta rinse them in thorougly FW and completely air dry each time you dunk them because SW will destroy the seals in no time.
