You watch too much Star Trek.


Indeed I do.

We can only manipulate individual atoms on an extremely small scale.
Manipulating atoms on the scale of something like a camera lens is not
possible now or in the immediate future.


I will agree, but with the caveat that I am not familiar with what is
happening behind all of the tightly closed doors where such research is
going on.

Have you got any idea how many atoms there are in a single
lens element, let alone an entire assembly?


Yep. Doesn't concern me.

I am willing to wait until the camera I want to purchase is made
available to me. I have no desire to own a camera just for the sake of
owning a camera. If this means I won't be able to take pictures, that's
fine...I have gotten along without one up to now and will continue to do
so.

I am curious, why are people so invested in my immediate purchase of a
waterproof, digital camera?

I have made it perfectly clear what I am willing to purchase and that I
will not settle for anything less then what I am looking for...yet,
people keep on telling me that I am wrong and I should follow their
advice instead.

You're welcome to continue to tell me I am wrong, but keep in mind that
one nifty definition of insanity is to perform the same action over and
over and over again, expecting a different result.
