Looks like a great idea, but Olympus need to work on the spec a little more before I would buy.

Turns out the camera can only take 10 second video clips. I though all modern cameras where capable of better than this. The last camera I had with a restriction on the clip length was a first generation IXUS (going back a good five years)
Secondly why spec XD memory cards. With the exception of Sony almost everything uses SD now. Why deviate from the norm?

I do hope this encorages other manufacturers to make somethings similar though, it would be great to have a camera tough enough for my shorts, as opposed to having to pack it away in my bag (or leave it at home if it's raining)

We have one and have taken longer than 10 second videos on it, mind you we do have a 2gb memory card in it.
Its nice to be able to take it out on the bike and not worry about it at all.

Is that because the bike cant fight back ?
