I think you will like it. The more I use it and the more I like this camera. Oh and the video mode is great to!

Yeah, I should try the movie mode underwater, with the pumps running, and close up to some corals, to see how it looks.
I did try the movie mode in my plane, in the cockpit, a few days ago. However, was disappointed, because again the AF would often focus on the windshield putting the scenery out of focus. My old Sony at least had a manual focus, so I could set it far out, and it did pretty well. This is not a big concern for me, though, as I am waiting to get a new POV camera for my plane. Most of the good summer float flying is done now for the year, so have until next spring to find a good one. Maybe by then the Gopro 4 will be out with GPS... Getting a little off topic, but here is a youtube using my old Sony from a few weeks ago going into a local alpine lake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9o5Ytfr-g0

Must be an awesome feeling of freedom to have your own plane and go anywhere you want. Such beautiful scenery. When I see that I miss California as in Quebec where I live now it's rather flat everywhere and our greatest mountains are just tiny hills.
I understand for the camera...no manual focu is a problem for sure in that type of situation, but for the aquarium the camera is great. Maybe you should get a DSLR for other type of photography and just the little Olympus for the aquarium and traveling light. Those little underwater cameras are usually limited in features. I tried a few and this was best for image quality but there are compromises. Quote:

As for DSLR, my other photography needs (and abilities) are not that great, so will save/use that money for a good POV camera instead.

Red Planet progression shots
Kind of proud of this one, considering where it started. Growing like crazy now.
Jan/2013, frag was just a skin flap barely covering 1/2 of the plug, and hardly recognizable as a Red Planet. Apr/2013, starting to show some growth. Oct/2013, growth has really taken off. Nov/2013, an underwater top down shot, about 4 inches across now.

Thanks, Anthony.
Seems that it takes a couple months usually for SPS corals to settle in. But once they start growing, they really take off. I acquired some more SPS frags the last couple months, and same thing seems to be happening. Very little growth on the new frags, but the older established ones growing like crazy. Might be my LEDs, too. They say they are harsh on new frags (if they came from T5 or MH lighting), and takes a while to acclimatize to the new lighting. I do start the new frags lower down, or at the back of the frag rack, but it doesn't seem to matter. At the moment, my tank parameters are not perfect, with P04 around .09 (used to be mostly zero). And still fighting some algae. But again, the established corals don't seem to mind.
