I've got mine used for $70, and had occasion to dunk it into water, which didn't affect performance. Optical features are very good too. Next WR model has some minor drawbacks - again, don't remember whether it is lens aperture or somethins else, - but still should be fine for that price (200 or so). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
