    I've seen that one, pretty hilarious!! Good to know that if I ever need to hammer some nails into a piece of wood, I can always use my camera. :D

    I was squirming the whole way through. But an awesome test all the same.

    I took my D70s into battle, gun smoke, powder, explosions, and dirt. Yep, it did it's job. My D300 takes the same, if not worse.

    Then I shouldn't worry about a little drizzle and wrap plastic bags around it. haha. The kinda babying I give my camera is ridiculous compared to the abuse they can take. .

    Well as tough as my E3 is it will be off to Oly next week. Broken side door, flakey firmware issues ect. But it has been well abused. I am right proud of it. It still looks good after all it has been through.

    Great stuff. My ancien,t and very heavily used and abused, Nikon D50 is still going strong, but I've never subjected it to that kind of abuse. From now on maybe I'll be a little less careful with my cameras. Well...No, I won't. Thanks for a good laugh.
