Barry, I brought two K-7 to South Georgia and Antarctica in December. Here's a bit of what they were exposed to: http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/displayimage.php?pos=-226
It just kept working. And also important, it handled the change from this outdoor conditions to the warm interior of a ship cabin without glitch as well. I have nearly no experience with the K-x, though. :-( Jostein 2010/6/8 Barry Rice <[email protected]>: > > Hey Larry, > > Thanks for your comments. > > I am unfamiliar with any "water resistance" features on the K-7, but it > has any, it would be a huge plus.
