I think he said he just bought a 4gig card to use with it so he'll never run out of memory. I've seen the housing and it is smaller than the OLY PT015, but still no where near as small as the Casio.
Yep. Video (1024x768), wide lens, small housing, and manual controls sold me on the S80 setup. I sold my 5050 with housing for $600. My S80 with housing cost $600. I would have broke even were it not for the TWO, 4GB 150X Transcend SD cards I bought. The video (motion jpeg) for this camera is roughly 20X bigger than QT files taken by the 5050.

In one month Connor and I are headed to 'lil Cayman. Until then, you'll all have to settle for a look inside my aquarium

*You'll probably need to use IE to open the video.

** Video file was compressed from 1024x768 Motion Jpeg to 640x480 1000KbPS Windows Media.
