Re: [Paddlewise] RFI Opinion on waterproof camera

A note on waterproof zooms - the last time I checked (a year or so ago) all waterproof
zooms carried warnings to not zoom the lens while wet as water would be drawn
into the mechanism and wreck it.  Maybe someone has improved the systems since
then, but if you go looking for a used camera keep this in mind.
