I bought my WR90 used from an individual who said he only used it once...on a Grand Canyon raft trip, he had just replaced the battery, etc, etc... Got it for a good price too, but when I opened it to insert the first roll of film I found very small grains of sand coating the gasket seals, and some inside. After paying to have the camera professionally cleaned I still only have about the cost of a new one in it. Still I'm really pleased with it, but I'm a little skeptical regarding the commercial. Maybe you need to run it through the dishwasher after every use just in case...
