....unless its a Pentax!

Found this video clip from a link on a UK based Pentax user who was extolling the virtues of the build quality. Basically lots of sand plus a shower = you can keep on taking images.

That was actually created by a PF user, and has been posted here several times. It’s still worth looking at, though.

It's a great pity Alex now shoots Nikon.

I’m not that hard on my gear, but I do get it wet frequently, and sometimes dirty. Always keeps shooting.

Windblown dust and fine sand is probably far more insidious, and would be a better test.
