The first proper outing I had with my new K10D was during a blizzard over Easter - big clumps of sticky wet snow. It was such a feast for the eyes I stayed out in the North Downs in Kent a full three hours. I was frozen and soaking wet. So was my camera. But did it grumble? Not a bit of it!

This weather proofing is more important than I had imagined: it allowed me to get shots over an extended period in conditions in which I might have hesitated with a 'normal' camera. And I'm glad I trusted it, the pictures were lovely
