Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / October 2007Try THIS with a Canon
Just make sure it's insured first. Look at the Olympus E-1 pictures halfway down the thread. I've seen this done myself. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1000&message=25384927 > Just make sure it's insured first. > > Look at the Olympus E-1 pictures halfway down the thread.

I believe that he is referring to the pictures of the guy washing his camera in the sink to clean it. This seems a little bit unconventional. I'm not sure if I would do it. > Just make sure it's insured first. > > Look at the Olympus E-1 pictures halfway down the thread.

The Oly E1 is spec'd to be splashproof: http://www.olympusamerica.com/e1/feat_durability_components.asp. You do know the difference, right? Don't let the facts get in the way. > > Just make sure it's insured first. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > You do know the difference, right? Don't let the facts get in the way. Yes. Difference is Canon cheaped out on $5000 and $8000 cameras. >> > Just make sure it's insured first. >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Yes. Difference is Canon cheaped out on $5000 and $8000 cameras. So those that want a splashproof camera can look somewhere else, pretty simple really. Nowhere does Canon advertise splash- or weatherprof cameras. Mark >Just make sure it's insured first. > >Look at the Olympus E-1 pictures halfway down the thread.

I don't care how well it's weatherproofed, there is no way I would shoot a naked camera under those conditions. If I felt the urge to shoot in a sandstorm I'd drag out a disposable or my cell phone. I suspect the quality of the images would have been about the same as those taken by an E-1. TR >Just make sure it's insured first. > >Look at the Olympus E-1 pictures halfway down the thread.

What is your axe to grind with Canon? Where did it come from? Put aside the spin and the elaborate BS about engineering and customer concern..... What's your REAL beef? Did Canon fire you at some point in the past? Did they fire your father? What is it that makes you hate Canon so badly. And if you come back with some elaborate BS about your innate goodness and their overwhelming evilness you are getting the PLONK!!! >>Just make sure it's insured first. >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > And if you come back with some elaborate BS about your innate goodness > and their overwhelming evilness you are getting the PLONK!!!

Like the Red Queen, he demands perfection, and he leaps immediately to a conclusion (Sentence first, verdict afterwards) without any regard to subtleties like evidence. Like the Black Knight, he picks pointless fights that are hard to ignore, and he keeps fighting the same pointless fight out of sheer stubbonness. Oh, and he's a loony.

Little Richie was once sodomized with a 400L 5.6. While he has since come to enjoy the experience, it still left a bad taste in his mouth.

Seriously - I've owned a few Canon's in the past - first 35mm and now digital. Never had a problem. Think they work great. Bought a Canon digital 'cause I already had money invested in glass for my old 35 mm (not a lot of money mind you, but still money non-the-less). And by the way - never once have I felt the need to wash my camera. What are you doing - taking it in the bath with you Rich? |
