You’d be lucky enough to have it still functioning after you’ve dried it out and cleaned it over and over again. Or if you are looking for the perfect underwater camera that does not need a housing designed to fit only that model then Sanyo’s new range in their Sanyo Camcorder technology is definitely the answer for you.
