No leaks yet, I think actually he meant the full digital cameras such as the Kodaks or Sonys rather than the WR90. The one I have just doesn't even go near water! My WR90 has been a terrific workhorse for some years and I would unhesitatingly recommend int. I do have a problem sometimes with the autofocus wherein it hits sharp focus on some grass blade or branch I never even noticed. But that's the case with any autofocus system. It can be defeated on the WR90 but it's a little time consuming. Sometimes I also take my Minolta X700 with an 80-200 zoom lens in a waterproof dive box. There are times I need its compositional qualities (primarly focusing).
