Why was that plant in a pot filled with un-drained wet clay? No wonder it looked dead.

Nothing different than real life test in Afghanistan for a K5. This was show here on Pentax Forum. I dont call them stupid , I call trust in the Pentax camera.

Yes, terrible. I bet there are places in the world where one could be shot at after subjecting your camera to that much dust, dirt and water!
(To the unintiated, you have to look up some of Heie's videos).

LOL

Hervé is so brave he doesn't even fear to overload Ricoh's after sales services !!!

It's the sort of thing that does go viral though... and makes the point Pentax is trying to make quite well

Almost as scary as the beach test of the 645Z:

oh the beach test is cool... and done right in the sprinkles of the shower. He actually took a photo with an adequate exposure time

I just ask myself that question in my front yard, turns out (after digging out the entire pot like that one) I never drilled the drain holes, yes I had a pond and the plant in it also was not looking well. Since Heie already made such a nice video I did not feel the urge to dip my K3 or K3II into the muck, lol. Side note, I did drill holes, amend the soil and plant an artichoke.

Hmm... who do we know?

Dr_who · 03-22-2016, 07:25 AM

I'm always waiting for the video of someone throwing their camera under dirt and rain and to turn it on and go ...hmmmm that's not good lol

Someone needs to be either brave or foolhardy enough to do this to a lower echelon Canikon and film it dying, then fade to black and voiceover of "Should've bought a PENTAX" followed by fade-in of WR body and matching lens(es) of choice.
