How can you tell by looking at the contact arrangement?Having looked closely at my grip/body contact arrangement, they are protected Stefan.

Were I to buy a K-7 and take it out in the rain with the dodgy grip then I would just take out the batteries to be sure. The reason I use a grip is more to make the whole package handle better (for me) more than for the extra battery power.
Yeah that would make it all right, the worst thing that can happen is that you short out a button. If it's the shutter you will take photos all the time, nothing more nothing less.

Even so at these reduce sizes it's very very hard to spot the difference, it's sometimes already hard to see if the photo is taken with a compact or DSLR at 800px

I was lucky, went to the local camera shop and a Pentax sales man was there with all the new compacts so had a play with all the cameras
The W90 feels very robust, so if the image quality is good it certainly is an interesting camera.
The Optio H90 also looks very impressive with his large screen on the back.
The Optio I-10 only had his retro design, I think I would rather have one of the other two.

Ken, you sure about that, never underestimate the ingenuity of students. I dont want to rub salt into the wound but I always tell students and assistants never to put cameras on chairs or tables etc. Always put them on the floor or ground, they can't fall off the ground.

I'm sorry to hear what happened, it appears you've been very unlucky. I've heard quite a lot of stories of the lucky ones dropped from tables even from a stair without any damage
I hope you could manage to repair it somehow, in another topic some guys already listed some shops that might be able to help you.
It's about fungus the thread, with some luck it's only dislocated and nothing is broken.

Gitsu is that an expensive brand, looks to me like a Chinese rip-off from Gitzo.

Well you are talking about electronic contacts and a power source, I've no idea if the battery grips contacts on the camera are protected if not it could shorten out the main-board of course.
