It would've been funny too, if he just stuck it in his pocket and walked off.

biggest problem is panasonic won't guarantee waterproofness beyond first year UNLESS you send it in for them to replace the seals. and guess how much that costs? the standard flat repair rate of $140 + parts. So even though you are doing exactly what they designed the camera to do, they want to charge you almost half the value of the new camera annually to continue to use it as specified.

This is great, I also love the look of the new Lumix FT3 tough camera, may have to invest in one of these... check out the FT3 moive on you tube

@JohnLeeMD would happen if it was in china

[JohnLeeMD]

I've had mine for a little over a year... and on a recent trip to Hawaii, it broke... being submerged in the water. Certainly this is just clever advertising and you would never do this with your camera, but still--it's not near as shock/water proof as you'd think and like.

[xinaesthetic]

@PanasonicAustralia sounds a bit optimistic from my experience. I guess this is reduced in lower temperatures (like in the Atlantic off the west coast of Scotland :-) )

@kingsofsting

Good chance, but they will blame their bad design on you and replace it as a 'good will gesture'. However, its been 3 weeks after my 'replacement' got approved, and im still cameraless, never Panasonic again.
