Friends, this wash wasn't to show off. It was done in a hotel bathroom after going through some expedition in a desert. As mentioned earlier, those fine sands was so nasty that neither blowing, dusting nor vacuuming works. Washing them was the only option. The lens is a 50-200mm.

Thank you if you like this video.

But for the rests who think this was an abuse, I'm sorry to say,you are wrong.

The camera went thru stormy desert with very fine grain of sand covering all corners. It was so bad that not even blowing or vacumming works. So the only way was to give it a shower.

So come on. Did it actually WORK after all that water 'abuse'???

[ykkok]

Thanks and yes, it's still working till today.

dont be silly. These cameras were built to survive this. If my camera was built to survive being dropped from a plane, then I would expect it to do so. However being dropped out of the plane and being put under a shower are two very different things. Its not like he took the thing scuba diving...

This is serious constrution, build like a...submarine!!!! I´ve done some shots recently with this camera just to give it a try, and i was seriously impress with the quality of the results. The colors were stunnig, and camera that can handle many types of photographic situations and deliver superior results in a wide range of settings. In my opinion, still today the E-1 out performs many others cameras with higher resolution, in terms of performance, image quality, colors, constrution. Regards

Wtf??? I have a e1 myself, but I never knew that it is so rock solid! Stunning! By the way, I have a vivitar makro objective with the 4-3rd adapter and it is really worth it, buy one if you have the chance to!

My dog knocked mine down a banking over a cliff and down the 9 meter waterfall id just been taking pics of after climing down i could see something reflecting in the pool under the waterfall i took some clothes off and waded in to retreave it that all took about 15 mins and it was deep i used my toes to hook on the side strap as i didnt fancy ducking under just to get the memory card back!

Its fine ive been using it ever since fault free yeah ok the lens had to be dried out for a week!
