Now it happened like this...
      #653774 - 10/05/2008 20:01

....it started off quite nice yesterday, I had a day off so we thought we'd have a bit of a party. Well the drink was flowing & everyone was having a good time [especially me]. Out came the K10D & I started taking photos of the merryment! More drink followed & most folk got a little drunk - including yours truley!
Well at the end of the night I [& most of the others] was absolutely wrecked!
The K10D ended up staying outside on the patio table. Well here in South Wales we had a storm [of course I heard little - I was sleeping]. The thunder roared, the lightening did what lightening normarly does.... & it rained.... in fact it absolutely poured down.
Where was my camera...... still outside on the patio table.. thats where!
In the morning I found the camera... a few unprintible words later.... I tried the camera. The original lens was buggered... condensation in the lens. The K10D on the other hand [with another lens attached] worked just fine!
Am I glad I bought it [even though I sort of fancied the Nikon 80].... you bet your ar*e I am..
Cheers
John

The first proper outing I had with my new K10D was during a blizzard over Easter - big clumps of sticky wet snow. It was such a feast for the eyes I stayed out in the North Downs in Kent a full three hours. I was frozen and soaking wet. So was my camera. But did it grumble? Not a bit of it!

This weather proofing is more important than I had imagined: it allowed me to get shots over an extended period in conditions in which I might have hesitated with a 'normal' camera. And I'm glad I trusted it, the pictures were lovely
