X-Ray machines and *ist-D
Any potential damage to a digital sensor as in the *ist-D from airport X-ray machines? I assume not, but would rather be sure. After all, someone here has demonstrated permanent change in the sensor from exposure to the sun's image. TIA, Mike - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

The high powered versions will can fry the electronics, not just the sensor. Don't pack it in checked luggage, and I'd ask for a hand check since I believe some of the new machines for carry on can be dialed up much higher than the old ones.

Re: X-Ray machines and *ist-D
Two days after buying the D I went on a three week trip to Oz with it and my Optio. countless flights and x-ray machines later and I have no issues. DO NOT PACK IT IN CHECKED BAGGAGE is my only advice.
