Sony Marine Pack Flooded

	Sony Marine Pack Flooded
Author: bsule Posted: 12-May-06 IP: Logged	I bought a Sony Marine Pack for my Sony W7 camera and it flooded the very first time my camera was in it. The marine pack made one dry test dive empty and I even pressed all the buttons. With the camera installed, the second time I pressed the shutter on my first snorkeling trip the f'n thing flooded. Not much water entered, less than a teaspoon but it was enough to KILL the camera.     Reply | Report to Moderator

Dan offers equipment insurance that covers just about everything you coudl imagine. Floods are ususally due to a hair or some small particle on the O ring. The pros say "not if but when" your camera floods... you better have insurance. I just bought a Nikon D200 the insurance from DAN is worth it.     Reply | Report to Moderator
