Thanks for that! Finally a point and shoot that does 30fps video.

Mine has the option of 15 and 30 fps as well....
You can also fit the size of the screen for a computer or a tv size.
Only draw back with the Stylus Tough is that you need to buy specific memory cards that only come in 2 GB (18 mins of video).

Those videos are amazing video quality in picture and sound after seeing that I think I'll be going with one of the Olympus cameras.

I wouldn't count on getting useful video without image stabilization, especially if you ever want to use the zoom.
That was the main reason I got the Sanyo.

Where did you go to be able to swim with the sting rays?

The Sting Rays swim was off Caye caulker in Belize.  Great reefs to explore if you are in the Caribbean.  There are many areas to swim with the Sting Rays but better to stick with the known ones, hence more friendly rays.

Another considering feature is the storage media camera uses.  Olympus uses xD cards and this can be a problem when you go on vacation as xD cards are not very common in more remote area.

I have had my Pentax W10 for a number of years and it has travelled to Hawaii, both sides of Mexico and Florida - taking many underwater (Snorkeling) and great scenary shots...  My recommendation is the Pentax or Olympus cameras... ;D

Video taken from about 4-5 feet away underwater. Super Clear.
Go with Olympus, you'll be impressed I'm sure.
