The same old tired misinformation trotted out again an again...suggest you do a search on this forum for the user of this forum ("Don Parrot") who has shown several times that if you actually set...

Then tell me, what is the point of buying a WR lens if you can't trust your gear? I think your advice says more about you than it does about lens construction. I enjoy outdoors activities that...

I had a Pentax K7 and the cheapo kit 18-55 WR kit zoom. It went underwater when I stepped into a hole crossing a river- about .5m depth for 5-6 seconds. Worked great for a year, then around 13...

Thanks for the replies guys - will keep playing with the curves and the orientation. Cheers!

What camera DSLR body are you using - makes a difference if it is FF or an APS.

An unposed shot which I liked in the original colour (from RAW file) but felt it had enough shape and lines to make it across to B&W. However just have this niggling feeling that the conversion...

As the E-M5 will automatically use PDAF to focus 4/3 lenses and PDAF can have front/back focus issues I thought the E-M5 had the ability to register and fine tune individual lenses for the...

and the Pentax K-7. However I think it would be very interesting to revisit such cameras after a year of use and see if the sealing still works! My Pentax and its kit WR zoom were leaking by 13...

LOL - ever since Nikon AW1 announcement UW just means underwater to me ...;-)

The value of the cost difference is what you decide on - M-1 takes the build quality up to a higher level as well as the better EVF etc. Just because the E-M5 is cheaper doesn't mean you're cutting...

Hmmm - the link had no reference to underwater at all that I saw? Konica/Minolta camera division was bought by Sony, so they would be most likely the user of any of their designs. Why would you...

So what? Neither is film or a sensor! A great benefit of an EVF is that it can be set up to show you exactly what your image will look like when it is saved , with the WB, exposure compensation,...

There is a video of a journo doing his own test and dropping on the floor @ engadget or gizmodo, I think.

And a good choice for those who don't want to be forced to stop shooting because of some rain, sand, snow or dust

Wow- ever hear about the idea that as the operator of a piece of equipment you take some responsibility to learn how it works and prepare it for use? Your "objections" are so typical of the lazy,...

Good luck hiking or kayaking or caving with your FF camera and 2kg housing!

Totally disagree - as someone who takes a camera every time I fish, kayak, hike this is EXACTLY what I have been waiting for - something light, compact, better image quality than 1/2.3 sesnor tough...

Hah- this is the GoPro's competition now ...

Have could it have "No lens to change"? - it has two underwater rated lenses if you actually read the article, and can use the other "normal" series 1 lenses and probably other Nikon lenses via the...
