Thanks Richard for pointing out that mistake, we'll get that fixed up.

It's nice to see this comparison, but it is wrong on one important point: The Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is waterproof to 33 feet, just like the 8010 model. Notice the pictures included on this web page both show that '33ft waterproof' feature listed in text etched into the front of each camera.
