I have (ab)used my LX quite a lot, and it held well against everything I threw at it (or vice versa <g>). The moisture and dust resistance is great. I have had spilled beer and wine over it //usually at concerts, when you photograph in the front row and rock fans start throwing beer at the band, most of it is bound to end up on you, the same with the #$%#$^# bastard icehockey stars when they celebrate a victorious return from World Championchip by spraying every one around with sticky champagne//. I just washed it with clear water afterwards (beer is really ugly to get into cameras, it sticks to everything). I have had problems with LX and flash, due to the tiny contacts which connect the prism and body (which are inadequate, look at contacts in F4 for better ones), which can get separated with heavy hotshoe flash. That's the only problem I have ever had with it. And I am not gentle to my cameras.
