True Oggy. What it does tell us that getting the cameras and lenses wet is OK, and this is reinforced by the videos Pentax have released.

Immersing them underwater is not OK, you need a waterproof model for that, such as the W90.

I haven't looked into the industry rating system for cameras, but there is one and cameras are given a rating dependent upon their degree of waterproofness.

Here is fine and you're right - there's some excellent stuff in there.

Dust proof and water resistant lenses: These DA* lenses are dust-proof and water resistant because each part is individually sealed. This makes it difficult for dust and water to enter the lens.

Lenses with simplified weather-resistant construction: These lenses are made with a simplified weather-resistant construction by using DA* sealing technology which makes it difficult for water to enter the lens.

Well well, I remember that sale. He bought my 100mm macro, no problems whatsoever, good communication and fast payment.

It is atypical for that seller, so may be an error or even a hijacked account.

If you set the camera to memorise the file number, the camera counts continuously anyway. I know how many exposures I have made on all my cameras because it's the same as the file number. Any testing exposures the factory has done are not particularly relevant, I would have thought anyway.

Oh dear, are you all scrambling to get another image in?

Is anyone else actually going to take a picture? You must have some eggs handy, surely?

How about magneto-optical drives, or are they too small and too expensive?
