How about this one, you non-water sealed sissies!!...


5D, 70-200 f/4 - 25-30mph wind, standing in the water up to my kness while getting hammered by waves no less!!!!...

that 70-200 F4 is one stellar beach lens.

Mine loves the beach. The tropical beach. Hot, humid, Southeast Asian beach.

Oh, and that's the original 5D... yours is, if anything, better sealed.

pfft beaches dont scare my 5D Mark II. I had a thread floating around awhile back about the abuse mines been through and its still flawless.

This abuse is:

-Waterfall
-Full on saltwater splash from a boat (always carry a towel w/ you!)
-Sandstorms (I work in Iraq)
-A dip in the ocean waters (by dip the battery grip and bottom part of the lens got it from a freak wave)
-Theres probably more but thats the major ones I remember.

Wow, you gave more tough abuse to the 5D2 than I did but I can keep shooting after the sea wave splash without wipe off the wet by the towel

Yeah the 70-200 is the best range on beach

Never had a problem with 30/40/1D out on aussie beaches

I also spent 3months at sea with the navy, never had any probs except for the occasional fogging due to aircon inside and high humidity outside.

My camera's serial number is range of these camera's that failed during this Antarctica trip.
Numbers 320102XXX, 3201057XX, 3201057XX, and 03201064XX.

My serial number is 0320104XXX, midrange of of the others and also with a mid December delivery.

I already have my canon repair #. Just getting my documentation ready as attachments. I also get FALSE focus locks on the AF points at the 2 o'clock and 10'clock positions, and it is quite noticeable. Similar to this gentlemen's problem. See this links below:
