Unfortunately you've got one of those cameras that makes the beam look blue instead of violet. Unlike my S10 which captures the violet color a bit better 
Good job on the pointer tho. How warm does it get, and have you burned it in? For my 803t based pointer I left it on continuously for over 2 hours and the housing got slightly warm, but the diode was fine. I'm not certain if the manufacturer burns the diodes in, but in my experience if they survive the first 5-10 hours of use they last a long time.
Apparently some of the new burning bluray diodes being developed work very well at high temperatures - better even than the now mature red diode technology. Good news for pointer use.
