Missed that special memory since you were too scaredof ruining your brand new expensive cam corder by exposing it to the extreme elements? Well if it is the winter around Christmas or you stay in an area known for its rough conditions then you know how it is for the sensitive electronics. Its even more infuriating to know that the warranty wont hold if you use it in such places. Well, those were the days without the Sanyo Weatherproof Camera
