Great news on engine getting more good press (again).

The simple fix is to open the side door that you put the accessary cables into and fill it with silicone ,shut the door and never open it again. The bottom door for the card and battery doesn't leak so works for me. I just take card in and out to load on computer or to remove battery to recharge. Like they say ,any camera is better then no camera. I use to lug a setup with lenses and body around also but I just don't want to lug all that around any more. Need the space for tent , undies ,etc.

I always carry a camera with me, whenever and wherever I ride. I prefer smaller cameras, especially when riding technical single track, since I have a tendency to fall, and I don't want to damage either myself, or an expensive camera.
I insist on having a viewfinder, since I can't see an LCD display in bright sunlight. Therefore, I also like the Canon Powershot cameras.
Most of my Zongshen photographs were taken with a Canon Powershot A590, until it finally expired. At that time Canon wasn't making a Powershot camera with a viewfinder, so I moved up in size to a FinePix S3200.

This camera is small enough that I can carry it in a case on my belt, and it takes
much better photographs than the Canon Powershot cameras.
However, I missed packing the smaller, Canon Powershot camera on difficult, technical trails. Therefore, I bought a refurbished, Canon Powershot A1300 for $60 from shop.canon.usa.com.
You can get a refurbished, Canon A1400 for $55 to $60, delivered, on eBay.
