[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 360276, member: 13248"] Hmm, after reading page 18 of the user's manual, my desire to get one has deflated substantially: [I]Do not touch the area to the rear of the monitor or allow liquid to contact the inner surface. Failure to observe these precautions could cause product malfunction. [/I] Looks and sounds like maybe a ribbon wire is exposed that attaches from the body to the LCD. Even with the LCD shut against the body, water could still get in, which defeats the purpose of having all the other sealing. I just don't get it. And I wonder how that ribbon cable would react to dirt and dust while out backpacking in the desert? 2 of my past cameras had fold out/flip out LCDs and I shot with those in torrential downpours (no choice as I got caught in them a number of times). Those didn't have anything exposed though and were truly well sealed. Anyone have any actual pictures they could post that shows this cable? [/QUOTE]
