How Will Dust And Water Affect My Digital Camera

There is little that will ruin a camera quicker than the intrusion of dirt and moisture and if you are going to take pictures in a hostile environment, you may want to consider going the extra expense for a dust and water proof digital camera to protect your investment. The inner-workings of digital cameras are much more susceptible to damage from water and dust than mechanical films cameras and the electronics can be quickly compromised preventing them from working all together.

The environment in which the camera is used is an important consideration when choosing a new digital camera. Occasional use in a less than friendly environment probably will not cause any harm but working around the beach, for example on a steady basis, can put the camera in harms way of the elements and a dust and water proof digital camera will last longer than one made primarily for indoor use.

Keep in mind that a dust and water proof digital camera, similar to other items such as binoculars and telescopes, there are different degrees of dust and water resistance, usually depicted by a scale of zero to eight. There is a lot of difference between dust and water resistance and a dust and water proof digital camera.

Weigh Your Needs Before Deciding

As the degree of protection for your equipment improves, the price will go up, but if you will be taking pictures in a wet and dirty climate, the extra expense of a dust and water proof digital camera can save the cost of replacement. The amount of protection will vary with zero offering absolutely no protection against dust and water damage and a level 8 will guarantee no intrusion by dust or water.

Many devices offer water resistance, the degree of which is usually measured in feet below the surface and for how long. Watches, binoculars and other sensitive devices may be rated, for instance of being water proof to up to 10-feet, which means that if you jump into 15-foot deep water with your watch on, it will probably have water leak inside. Dust and water proof digital camera usually carry the same type of information as watches and other sensitive equipment.

Dust intrusion is measured by the size and velocity of the dust to which the camera is exposed. Extremely high wind and extremely small particulate matter will be able to get into a camera with a dust rating of zero to three, but as the rating increases so does the ability to keep the dust out.
