And then Mila Jovovovich showed up further away and he had to change his
lens.....
Now it's in the shop and he lost the shot !

Moral:

even if your car doesn't leak, it doesn't mean you should park it in the
river... ;-D

really a mate, but you know, yeah, i said to to mila jovovovich, u know what

see us leavin yeah and i spent the nite wiv er, yeah. but then you wouldnt
beleive what happened next, just as we were...

 

Gee Rick, what has the link have to do with Canon?

 

Canon owners cringe in horror ... anticipating the earth-shattering
kaboom as a foam duck demonstrates his "waterproof" camera by pouring
a bottle of water on his E3 with an FL50 external flash attached.

Did you see the video on youtube of the guy emptying the water bottle
over the E-3?

 

Does not mean it is a sensible thing to do. There was also one of a Pentax
K10D sitting in a sink with water running over it, still not recomended.

 

That just proves that Olympus owners don't have enough sense to come
in out of the rain.

One wonders what kind of job satisfaction one gets by stalking B-
actresses at birthday parties ... in the rain?
And more importantly, how does the Olympus hold up to being slammed
against pavement?

 

Just goes to show Rich STILL doesn't understand the difference between
waterproof and weather resistant.

Well, the crap you are talking about is what sells most magazines to
the unwashed. Some of those rags pay $500k for those photos.

 

Sure I do. The Olympus is "heavily" water-resistant. Unlike the
competition.

 

A point that is, well, pointless in this case. After all, the bonehead
had an external flash, which is NOT water-resistant, attached to his
camera when he pulled this stunt. Why the deities would protect this
silly sombitch and deny him his destiny to become a warning to others
is a mystery....

So...I guess all those dozens of white lenses at NFL games are mounted
on Oly bodies?
