Beer resistant cameras?
As I can't really find that much difference between the Canon 350D and
Nikon D50, there is another criteria I would like to find out about. How resistant are they to beer? My Canon Powershot A80 has been sprayed with beer on several occassions and still works fine. This situation came about when I was taking photos of a band in a pub and they sprayed the audience with beer. As I take most of my photos of live music in venues that also sell alcohol this situation may also arise in the future.

: [my question on beer resistant cameras] Have you ever considered Nikonos? I wouldn't really have use for a full underwater system though. Also I had my current camera kicked and knocked around and it still works fine. -- My Photos : http://photos.timchuma.com Two Preson Bike: http://timchuma.com/twopresonbike/ The Twits Give Me the ****s : http://twitsgivemethe****s.timchuma.com Tim's Hong Kong movie reviews: http://hkmovies.timchuma.com |

I've shot in pouring rain for about an hour and gone through Niagara Falls with it. So assuming you are careful to rinse off the camera under the tap after being sprayed with beer, it should be fine. Over in dpreview.com there was one poster whose dog peed on her camera and lenses, and after being thoroughly washed off, she still uses it. In terms of other weather sealed cameras, I think the high end Canon and Nikons are assuming you have appropriate weather sealed lenses. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

Wouldn't it be better for the beer to remain in the proper container, or someone's mouth? Grin. Some recent Olympus models are quite water resistant, so they should be equally as resistant to beer. |

Sometimes the person singing shakes a can of beer up and sprays the audience or someone spits beer at the stage from the audience (it happened twice on Saturday.) Also the camera has to be solid enough to clock people over the head with if they give me the pip. -- My Photos : http://photos.timchuma.com Two Preson Bike: http://timchuma.com/twopresonbike/ The Twits Give Me the ****s : http://twitsgivemethe****s.timchuma.com Tim's Hong Kong movie reviews: http://hkmovies.timchuma.com |
