This was covered on Slashdot but I thought I'd repost for our little group. Here are some satallite before & after photos of areas hit hardest by the Tsunami.

It looks like there is not much left of Banda Aceh. I read that in the Aceh area, many villages were almost completely wiped away - not even any bodies left.
If you use bittorrent, here are some tourist videos of the tsunami as it hit (found on Boing Boing). From the dialogue, it seems that these tourists new the tsunami was coming and were there specifically to film it, often from the safety of their hotel balcony. Wendy said that there were interesting things going on in the sea before the tsunami hit (for instance, I've heard that water is suppose to drain away from the shore shortly before the wave comes in) and that may be why these people were waiting to film it.
