ok i have this camera since before xmas and im just wondering does anyone else have one or similar and if so what sort of abuse has yours taken?

so far mine has been covering in red wine (which i had to then wash it in the sink cause it was all sticky),

i was also video when skiing and i fell and it got dragged through the snow,

i also drunkenly decided one day to put it in a pint of beer to taken a 'beer goggle photo' ha and then i had to rinse it again

oh and its been dropped on to a marble floor.

so im just wondering has anything happened or have you done anything to yours i just what to see what kind of stuff they can witstand.

I hope you haven't tried firing it out of an AA cannon like in your sig

The Olympus cameras are pretty famous for their weatherproofing (I've seen quite a few videos of the E-3 dslr being rinsed under a tap to clean the camera). Wouldn't want to try that with either the D3x (Nikon) or 1DsMkIII (Canon).
