That's weird. The first summer after getting my K10D, the wife and I were camping and relaxing after a 45-mile day on the bikes. Then we heard raindrops so we closed up the tent and took a nap. An hour later, we woke up and I fumbled around for the camera I knew I'd left above the head of the mattress. No camera. Opened up the tent and there was the K10D (with 16-50) sitting just outside in the wet grass, all covered with raindrops. I giggled, picked it up, blew the water off of the rear screen, and tried to calm my wife down who didn't think it was very funny. It never skipped a beat. I've rinsed it off with a bottle of water a couple of times, too. If yours is so easily affected by water, I'd say there is something wrong with it. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
