Hi, I have a lot of experience with RFI- I used to actually conduct RFI tests on products. Lets just say you are slightly mistaken because what sometimes happens is that with some products the RFI causes things that are only supposed to happen one at at time to happen at same time and the conflict causes the product to self destruct. It's not always the case but it's a possibity depending the "misoperation" and the nature of the product circuitry... I didn't test cameras but they are now so complex that It wouldn't be absolutely impossible for high levels of RFI to cause some modern cameras to permanently damage themselves IMHO... jco

Also, RFI should never actually "break" a camera -- unless you are talking about EMP phenomenon, in which case you have bigger worries than that of your camera. EMP = Electromagnetic Pulse - A highly destructive electrical "shock wave" sent out by events such as a nuclear blast, and I believe also by a nearby lightning strike. take care, Glen
