    So i have been looking into getting a new digital camera i am pretty sure i am going to go for the olympus 850sw. It is waterproof up to 10 feet. My girlfriend got one and she takes pictures of her fish from underwater in the tank. I havent yet used it in a saltwater tank but i am going to borrow it from her and we will see how things go.

    anyone else here have one.

    Go for the 1030! I have it and it is awesome. That one goes up to 33ft and I've had it about 25ft and no problems. It takes really good in and out of water pictures.

    The only thing I would worry about is salt creep. But at least it's water PROOF not RESISTANT. borrow hers and see if it breaks, then you'll know ;)

    we planned on washing it off with fresh water after we were done. it works just fine in a fesh water tank so we will see how it goes.
