So, then, aside from your frustration re: being without the camera,
what DO you make of their analysis of the issue?
Do you think
the weather conditions
salt water proximity
sweat
what in the world
could have caused corrosion
in such a brief period of time?
Is it possible that something at the factory
actually was not cleaned off during mfg?
It just seems such a weird break down.
(and one I've not heard of previously)
Do you read the l-camera forum?
Have you checked with that list about this fault?
