Surely he meant "...out of your camera." Or, even better, "...out of your DIGITAL camera."

Depends on how good the seals are, doesn't it? I mean, if you've got a Pentax LX ... (no, I don't have one, I just wish I did).

A friend of mine is a birder, and a personality in other ways, too. In the springtime he sees nothing strange about sitting five hours in cramped hideout, on a low stool, feet in 50 cm of icy water, finger on the shutter release, just for the chance of getting a pic of some bird or another.

He has had drained water out of his tripod legs a number of times.
