I've been walking in the Shropshire hills today, and typically for a British July it p****d down all day!
But I slung the K10 and DA50-135 over my shoulder as usual, it's been submerged in a river before now so a British summer downpour wasn't going to bother it, and it didn't.
I have to say that the weatherproofing and the 'feel' of the K10 were the main considerations to me when I bought it.
I'd had various Canon's for almost 35 years and naturally looked at them first. But they felt cheap and flimsy, certainly after the EOS 600 which I still have.
I think at least 6 or 7 people commented today about me carrying the Pentax with water running off it, complete strangers asking what camera it was?
And grumpy Canikon owners who were afraid to get their cameras out of their bags!
I thought long and hard about changing to Pentax, but I don't regret it.
