Heaven forbade you get the colors crossed up. May cause a discriminatory avalanche.
In this day and age the last thing to use is an array of color as a symbol lol.
I see an argument arising from the order(first second third etc).

You're not a dumbass, congrats on your job promotion. I'm doing better and better, cut my first cabs in a long, long while yesterday. That amped my attitude tremendously. Thanks Rick! Attitude is everything. Glad to hear of the adjustment. |

Did I miss the explanation of what happened to the camera? Looks like you ran it over with the ATV. How did you convince amazon that it was their fault? Chuck How could you doubt the great jamesp the magnificent ?  Dang, in his logo image Jim has a nice rack.  |

Magnificently hit a wash on the ATV at the end of a long trip and watched it bounce 3 feet in the air. Only to come down on the ATV tire and get launched like a rocket. That's my story Chuck. Amazon great about refunds. Hat's off to Amazon. They sent me a full refund. I bought a big accessory kit included in the price of the camera and they refunded that too !!  This time I bought a silicon rubber jacket so I could set the camera down without scratching the back panel:  |

Good answer because your right. But you knew that you where. That's one thing I remember from school, ok maybe a few more but also...who cares.
I'm a weath of useless knowledge.
Well then what are.... I'll stop.

I noticed condensate on the inside of the taking lens or lens guard after underwater use. It cleared up but moisture should not be there. For any reason. Not taking the next one underwater. Still like it. Sand in the zoom mechanism has always been the demise of other cameras. Sand probably not a problem on this one. But zoom extension is internal and short mechanically. Only 4X zoom. Had to with to high res for distant shots. Then crop. Lots of distortion. Better to have 10-12X mechanical zoom. Got to have pictures ? Me got to take them. Great excuse to get outside. |

We used to tell the tourists that they were long snouted river chickens. And GOOD eatin'!  And that pelicans couldn't fly very well which was why they were always falling in the water. (actually diving in on schools of bait fish) Tourists can be pretty gullible. When asked if we worked year round, I would tell them "until the Gulf freezes over in the winter". Amazing the number of people that would go away thinking that the Gulf of Mexico froze in the winter. Lovin' all the pictures James. Old Florida *sigh* |

Moisture and cameras = no Bueno. Florida is a nightmare on cameras. Salt, sand, condensation, yuck. When the camera goes from indoors to outdoors, you need a good 20 minutes to let the camera adjust to heat and humidity.
The search for the "perfect" camera and/or lens. Got to give up that large mechanical zoom for a self contained unit. But no way a typical camera with extended lens survives the abuse that Olympus takes. Four wheelers notwithstanding. Give and take. You'll notice the pros on the sidelines at sporting events still have two camera bodies outfitted with lenses better suited for near or far.

Florida seems to be the end of all my cameras Garage. I hear you.
A camera for near and one for far, about a requirment.
I was relaxed and less worried about this camera. Worked great on all expeditions. Though limited optically on distance.
Floating strap and thick padded case helps.
Just received new one.
The camera rests on the back plate directly scratching the plastic protecting the LED display.No protective frame protruding.
so I bought a silicon rubber surround for it. It can now be set down on flat surfaces. Thought that was a short coming.
