Can this survive extreme conditions like the Leica m6?

Absolutely not. The Nikon FM-10 is plastic garbage, ours literally fell apart in short order. You will get a far better camera for less money by purchasing a used Nikon FM or FM2 in excellent condition from KEH. Another option for just a little more money, would be a Nikon F3. However none of them are equivalent to the Leica M6 as you are comparing a high-end rangefinder camera to a standard Single Lens Reflex. They are similar in the same way that a Ford F150 pickup is similar to a Jaguar XJ Sedan.

What do you mean "extreme conditions"? It has a plastic body, very well suitable for photography students and fully manual mode lovers. Besides that, I would say it's a simple and affordable camera.

Being that it is under high pressure I doubt if it will last very long. You can try.

It is an excellent camera and performs well for me in all light conditions. Buy it you will be impressed.

Hi There, I have to of the outdoor cameras, I live in Houston so can sya that they can handle 104 which is about as hot as we get (as you know) and at 60 - 70 perecent humidity. The 30 mph winds with sand driving at the lense cover is going to be an issue - I am sure. I would drop Sharx an email - they will almost certainly answer immediatly and ask them if you can buy spare lense covers for the outdoor camera, you will have to replace it when it gets badly scratched. Best suggestion I have.

Absolutely!! Thats exactly what its mainly used for.. I would buy a waterproof case for it so the snow wont damage it although its partially waterproof.. these cameras are very durable without lacking any quality.

George, I would venture a guess and say Yes. If not, you have't lost a lot of pocket change. The unit is excellent construction. The Leica costs are highway robbery.

It's built to operate in most conditions, but everything has its limits. I've used my in the rain, but I wouldn't go swimming with it often. It is sealed very well. The lense is fog resistant. I have never had it dog up on me

I highly recommend the Olympus Stylus Tough models. I own two. The first one I bought about 10 years ago. still works like a champ. And my new one I bought 4 years ago. I am not easy on my cameras. I take them to the beach ever weekend, camping, in the rain and I use them a lot in our pool. I have even dropped mine when riding my motorcycle. Sure it's a little scratched hear and there. I even have a deep nick on her but the camera still works like a champ.

We have a very low-end case for the camera. After all, it's shock-resistant :) It has survived whatever a 12 year-old girl can throw at it after two weeks at the shore and multiple family trips and still takes very nice photos.

Yes. This monopod will be able to withstand the weight of most entry and midrange level SLRs, however I'm not sure of what the recommended weight of the monopod is, so please take that into consideration. You will be holding the monopod as well if it's in use so that should hopefully give you some peace of mind. My only recommendation is that you be mindful of the weight of the lens you attach to the camera and how much it effects the cameras center of gravity.

Yes, I am very happy with this camera. I use a Leica M9, how ever it is not suitable for all circumstances, this camera fills in the gaps.

So long as it isn't too exposed to extreme weather you'll be just fine. Item comes in a box with a nice zip up case inside, probably wrapped in plastic as well if I recall correctly. This is an outstanding value.

I think this would be fine in that situation. I've used it in snow and light rain and it worked great. My camera is not weather sealed so I worry about wet weather

I just got back from South Dakota where I dropped the camera onto the snowy ground from about 2-3 feet. I wiped off the snow but some of it melted on the camera and I was very worried. However, there were no problems. I carry the camera around in a pocket in my knapsack where it gets bounced around a lot---no problems so far. --Max Molinaro

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

Absolutely. This camera is awesome. Just because there are Mark I I & Mark III versions of it out there does not mean that can't get the job done. I would have 100% confidence in using this camera in any setting...Landscape or other professional work. It was used by professionals for years until the other versions of it hit the market. If you can use the "L" series or prime EF lens you won't have any problems at all.
