my camera has survived 10 years of Indian rodeos...survived my jumping on the fence, with it around my neck when a bull or horse would get too close.....it has more dings on it than i care to number. i sold some antiques to buy it.i love my camera.......i had a bad wreck and insisted that a fireman get my camera out..not my purse and money...the camera!!......get yours out and take some and scan them. okay?
