I have just bought a Powershot A80 for my daughter to take to Sri Linka during her holiday there in two weeks time. She has an Olympus Stylus D300 camera but I see the A80 as being an improvement.
Now I discover a problem which hadn't previously occurred to me - taking the camera to the TROPICS during the MONSOON period - hot with high humidity.:rolleyes:
I have been researching the issue of cameras in the tropics - some people say they have not experienced any problems in these conditions - others talk of their cameras being ruined by the heat+humidity.
Ironically, the Olympus happens to be one of the few digital 'waterproof'( splashproof in reality!): should she play safe and forego the pleasure of using the A80 for this particular holiday and take the Olympus?:confused:
