You know, I think I am going to have to go back to calling you Elmer. There is no reason on earth why a dustproof, waterproof camera couldn't have a Clik! drive built in. A tiny door covering the opening of the drive, sealed with a rubber gasket, would suffice. The electrical contacts of a CompactFlash card are susceptible to shorting if exposed to water, by the way. If Ricoh's camera is to use any form of removable storage, it will have to have such a door. This kind of problem was solved a long time ago so that people could use film cameras underwater. - Allen
