Just what I needed for my sports and wildlife shooting. They weren't kidding when they said this camera was a work horse! Football season is here and I am ready! The pictures are also stunning at the higher ISO's. Very impressive! Brittany

No, it is not. What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Twice. I think the time it was submerged could be measured in milliseconds. No it was not by choice. It's been sprayed with a hose a number of times as well. people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
