Hiking Camera

Had a friends dslr with me on my 5d hike. With the rain, rocky climbs and river crossings, I think I've finally settled on a rugged camera. Panasonic ts5 from bhphoto

Good choice. My only gripe with their design is this:

Same here. My only gripe with it is the fact that water droplets accumilate on the bottom of the front lens which makes life annoying sometimes. I wish they had designed it like the new canon which allows drops to move down out of sight of the lens. (when you are wet yourself it's not always possible to wipe the front lens properly)

I looked at the canon d20. It was falling short on the specsheet. The canon ihs is too expensive for not much more bang and the pentax has many owners complaining about water ingress.

I have the TS4 so I understand your choice. I was simply referring to the fact that it is something that annoys me about the camera sometimes.
