The ruggedness of the
E-1 is a HUGE selling point for me as I'm not very gentle on my
cameras and I do like to shoot in the rain once in awhile
I just got back from a cruise and one day I went to the beach with e-1 in
tow. Yes, I'm also careful with my cameras. After a few hours in that
environment the camera got a bit of the salt water humidity thing going on, so
when
I got back to the ship, I took a fairly damp wash cloth and wiped the entire
unit off. Lens cap on, naturally. When I took the battery pack off, I
noticed for the first time, the o-ring seal where it slides into the camera
body.
As a SCUBA diver, I was impressed. There is in my opinion no problem with
build on these things.
As a partial answer to Ken's question about auto focus, I'd say it is nice,
not perfect and is somewhat of a pita when in a dimly lit situation. Wish
there was a split image and there isn't. Oh, well . . . Bill
