Is the D600 overpriced?
"Rich" wrote in message ... Weather resistant, not proof. The only weather proof camera was the Olympus E-1. Nah that would be the Nikonos. Actually there are plenty of compact weather proof camera's. Perhaps you meant DSLR? The E-1 doesn't qualify IMO anyway, I'd call it weather resistant too. If you can't wash off the mud in a bucket of water, it's not weather proof :-) Trevor. |
