How careful do you have to be? They are not water resistant but then neither is any other camera :-) The M6 can get slightly damp - a rain storm - without hurting any complicated electronics. But if you drop it in a river or spend 8 hours in a canoe in the rainy season in Honduras, it has to go back to Leica. I have one there now that spent less than 2 seconds underwater. It's costing me about $1000 to get it repaired. However, I would not have carried any other camera into similar situations. Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com/
