I know I dodged a bullet but last month at Trellis Bay my Olympus C-750 was
left on the cockpit table during a real frog choker while I was ashore.
When I got back to the boat it was as dead as Monty Python's parrot. I
removed the batteries, opened everything that would opened and sat it on the
shelf over the nav station for a day. Next night it was back to normal.

I was sad when I found out the hard way that some of the functions on my
HP R707 did not work when the humidity and heat were high.
I then read the manual and here it was "the camera was made and designed
to operate at 85 % relative humidity and 85 F temperature.
I wonder if it is HP that is not producing a decent digital camera or is
it normal to experience this problem when on a sailboat on a hot and
humid day?.
I've shot thousands of images with my various Olympus digital cameras and
have never had a problem when shooting in the Caribbean in similar
conditions. Dousing the camera is another matter...I think that HP is
giving
you the run-around or the just produced a bad product.
