The 90WR was a real "impulse buy" - the price was good but I never
really anticipated putting more than a roll or two of film through
it.
The IQZoom90WR was a pretty good camera for a P&S. If I recall, it does
double-exposures, and interval exposures (one shot every xx
seconds/minutes/hours). And it's just about the most weatherproof P&S
zoom out there (at least a few years ago it was). You can carefully
operate it underwater (I know; I've done it), but don't zoom it whilst
underwater. It can withstand one meter submersion for 30 minutes, if I
recall. But be sure it doesn't turn itself off or zoom while underwater
as that will suck water into it. Obviously it's not marketed as an
underwater camera, so attempt this at your own risk! ...but it's been
done. The front element is supposedly a scratch-resistant glass, and I
have found it to be quite durable. If there is a weakspot its that the
remote can be dislodged with a little force.
For a rough-and-tumble camera that can operate under the worst
weather/dust conditions, the IQZoom90WR really is something.
