I can submerge the camera and take close close up pictures.
It does Video under water too. SWEEEET!

So how do you take Pics of your corals?

digital slr with a macro lens

one of the things ive noticed, better and clearer pics come out when you completely turn off your flow, powerheads etc.

if you have a macro lens.. make sure you use a high apature to keep the shutter open and use a tripod and you should get great pics

also use the timer option so you don't move the camera while taking the pics.. in macro any slight movement will ruin the picture

I just picked up the Olympus tonight good deal at Circuit City (they had about 20 or so left) Anyway what setting do you put yours on for underwater to take frag pics..?

I saw this camera in action at KewlFish's place. I takes great pics and video.

Now all you need is an under-water-tripod.

All kidding aside, that is REALLY slick..

I had the Olympus Stylus 720SW. It took nice shots "top down" style when submerged in the tank, but It took pretty terrible shots out of the tank IMO.
