do you know of a camera that can take drops every so often. im looking
for
somthing quite durable.

My 1953-vintage Argus C-3 "brick" (see the top pic at
http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/argus.html)

Pretty f'n near indestructable. Pretty easy to repair/mod/tweak, too.

The only camera I would ever drop and not worry about is a Fuji cardboard
box multishot, you know the kind, they sell them at the checkout counter at
the supermarket.

I once, and have never again, lent my Nikon F to a friend. I got it back
from Nikon repairs, they indicated that they had used the last film gate in
North America fixing it.

My advice is, carry your camera in a bag, wrap the strap around your wrist
upon removal and then place the strap around your neck immediately. Any
dropped camera will suffer some damage, such as loosened optics, lens and
body misalignment problems, and al kinds of other nasties.

Greetings Wayne,

The DC5000 is the only camera that was built to do what you noted. Great
camera but technology has moved on since it was offered. If you only need
to capture images in a work place and keep the camera free of dust and dirt
as well as moisture, check out eBay to see if you can find one.

Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird
