Originally posted by VSTAR I just don’t understand how anyone writing a review on these cameras can state things that are 100% not true,
I believe that many websites present inaccurate information, and many reviewers do a poor job. It's important to understand the credentials of the person or organization.
In many cases, going directly to the source of the product can help. In fact, Ricoh Imaging says this about the K-1 in their FAQ:
"Performance for environment Is the K-1 designed to be water-resistant/dust-proof?
Yes. There are 87 different sealing components used in the dials, buttons, joints and retractable parts of the camera, making it both dust-proof and water-resistant.
*For best protection against water or dust, use the camera with the Hot Shoe Cover FK, the Sync Socket 2P Cap and the Battery Grip Contact Cover attached."
So, it seems that CAMERAVS mis-stated the part concerning dustproof design. Can they be trusted?
