There seems to be a lot of speculation going on.

The OP needs to clarify a few things so people can make more reasonable replies , for example: what kind of water, how deep the camera went, how long was it under, did it hit the bottom with a bump, was there any signs that water had got in via the lens mount or into the socket seals etc.

As for the ads, I recently watch a guy running one under a tap at quite high pressure, if the body can withstand that surely it could cope with a brief dip of a second or less.

First thing I would have tried would be drying it out as a couple of posts above suggest, you could always try sealing it in a bag with some dried rice or the crystals used in moisture traps (make sure the latter doesn't actually come in contact with the camera)

I would also be very interested to hear JPS explain why they wanted to keep the camera, sounds rather suspicious to me.

Nice set Gary

Your a much braver man than me.

It's unlikely you'll bump into me Gary, I think we'll be spending most if not all of the day browsing the markets at the leisure centre and spa, too cold to be promenading around the old town at my age, we did a couple of hours of that today and I'm just about thawing out

Also totally agree......almost.

When I had my K5 and K10D combo I always used the K10D for taking pics for ebay etc, because taking them with a 16mp camera would have been be ludicrous, right?. Since the demise of the K10D the new K3II stays in the bag and the K5 is now used for the ebay pics and they still get cropped and resized to a maximum of 1000pixels high, if I ever aspire to a K1 I guess the K3II will become the underdog

However with such a good quality camera and glass (yes I use my DA* lenses) I can crop as much as I want for the best possible image plus I have the versatility of a DSLR. The higher the quality of an original image the more you can do with it so looking at it from that perspective the guy with the bagfull of kit has it just right

Pass on my best wishes to the missus too Gary, Looking after her is far more important than a few snaps, and there's always April

We may also have another annual event developing, a Steampunk Market along with evening entertainment has been organised for February at the Spa, give it a couple of years and it may become as big as WGW

I'll be there in the usual Steampunk attire, Mrs Spider will no doubt have something different

Problem solved, thank you.

Yes it does seem to be a design flaw, would be better if you had to press another button to get the four way to work. Anyway at least it gave the K5 an airing

But if any digital filters are set surely they will still be applied when switching to live view?

Definitely not digital filters John, fist thing I checked was white balance then the filters.

It was odd the way it took images with the casts in the same order twice. Does anyone know what order it shoots pixel shift?

Anyway I shall be out with it again tomorrow and see if I can give it a lot of use.
