RIP My New Awesome Camera
Flying Pickle

Well, it was fun while it lasted, which was about two weeks.
Somehow, I managed to get a few grains of sand in the seal of my new Panasonic Lumix water and sand proof camera and after that Sunday at Sandy Ground, there was a tiny bit of water in the camera by the battery.
I let it sit in a warm place, put it in a bag of rice for a week, but nada.
it just tries to turn on, makes a scratching sounds and that's it.
Am seriously heart broken as it's been a while since I had a camera I loved that much and even on days when I wasn't in a good mood, getting behind the camera always makes me look at everything from a different perspective.
Oh well, back to my old Canon.... or is it an Olympus.... meh, whatever.
My thought and prayers are with you at this time of great loss. I hope you had a great Christmas and maybe Santa will do a late fly by and get you a new one

Ouch! That hurts. I hope you were able to have a wonderful Christmas anyway. I hope you are able to get a new one soon.

Wow - Well would it be a warranty issue? after all - it was supposed to be sand AND water proof? That seriously sucks. Sorry Francie!

Well that sucks! Sorry to hear that it didn't make it. Is it too much of a hassle to try and get your money back?

Really? You want me to walk around with a helmet and a cam named "Naked"? Nice....

Heh.
Now you're just making me blush.
Camera's naked (sans various mounts for cars, helmets, etc.), not you. You can actually hold the thing in your hand. Under water. In a hurricane. Or something. So they say. People like 'em. A lot. Supposed to be very tough. And waterproof.
Someday I wanna to set one up as a webcam, pointed at SXM etc., on a pole along with a weather station. I might take it down for a hurricane to save the weather station. Or I might leave the camera up all by itself. We'll see.
