The lens on my camera never fogs. I used the camera all day long under and above the water. The only time had some water drips on the lens and I did not notice and few pictures came little bit unclear. If the underwater feature fail I believe you can still use as a normal camera. Hope this help you

Not used it underwater . It works efficiently during rain storms, just make sure to set focus and pull it tight up to the lens to prevent distortion

I heard many complaints about this issue before I bought the camera. But I took the risk. So far no issues. But yes many websites show some steps to fix this problem. I would first use the warranty and then go for those options..

The camera is not dust/drip/water proof. Condensation can occur in situations of dramatic temperature or humidity changes.

When disconnected or unpowered, the optical stabilization elements do shake/rattle inside of the lens. When mounted to the camera and the camera is turned on the shaking/rattling ceases. This is the only lens I've encountered that has this "feature."

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.

yep.... check your contacts on camera mount, also on lens- clean with rubbing alcohol. Also, naturally, make sure lens is securely and completley mounted. Failing that, you'll have to send it in as it would seem you have a bad copy.

I haven't had the opportunity to try it out under water, but it does operate differently. I tried it out at home and the photos are blurry unless you have the lense set at maximum exposure (all the way out). It then takes clear photos. This means to me that you better be ready to use it when it is in that mode before it automatically turns off during your power saving mode.

It's my favorite camera ever, and I also own a DSLR. That said, I discovered a small piece of dust or debris on the sensor through a photo of the sky shot at f/16, focused at infinity. Otherwise I wouldn't have discovered the dust. I sent the camera back to Ricoh repair services for warranty service about a month ago, and it's in transit back to me now. This is not a common occurrence, and I was told by a Ricoh product specialist that the dust most likely entered the camera during the manufacturing process. A clean room where the cameras are assembled probably became temporarily contaminated.

Thanks. Sealing it in a plastic bag before going from a cold place to a hot, humid one sounds good, I'll certainly give it a try. I was concerned about water or moisture damage when taking photos on whale watching tour boats given the strong likelyhood of rain, boat spray, humidity, etc. Does Cannon or anyone else sell anything to help prevent moiusture/water damage to dslr's?

I dropped my older S8200 camera Christmas day and just purchased another one because I loved this camera so much. I used my camera every week for 2 years. Never did I have this problem. I never had any iissues.I would contact Nikon about the problem and see if they will replace your camera, or at least repair it if it's a warranty issue.

Thank you so much for the info. The clouding was a BIG factor against Sony, but if its fixed, Ill probably lean towards the Sony. Thank you again!

It should be fine.. You can take pictures underwater. It is sealed very well! It tells you in the manual what to do. Hope this helps.

I have only used this camera in salt water. My only advice is to make sure that you wipe the lens, ESPECIALLY if you drop it in the water. I have never had to open mine when I have been around the water so no issues with that but it has been underwater and have had absolutely no issues with it. Pictures are good except the ones I forgot to wipe the lens and those are fuzzy.

Yes, it does! Some times when is used too much in water the lens can take a fog of humidity but you only need put it under sun a few mins.
