Lots of diamonds are man made, and most people can't tell them apart from natural diamonds, especially without a microscope.

I could see them claiming injury if they got caught. But in this role play, it sounds like the "cop" was getting away with it, and started shouting for no reason.

A cop yelling "officer down!" while having sex with a suspect doesn't seem very realistic to me.

Sounds like you need to go touch some grass.

I wouldn't take it on anything more than class II rapids (ie. no whitewater). We don't get wet on most trips, and that's without trying to keep anything safe and dry (my phone is waterproof). IMO the risk is only slightly higher than walking next to a swimming pool or river with your camera, you could fall in but most likely won't.

But someone else pointed out a $90-100 waterproof case, which is a better option that buying another camera just for this.

OK, I found the waterproof case you were taking about and that actually seems like a pretty good option. A $90 case would let us safely use the D3500 on the kayak, and let's me think about other features when picking out my own camera. Thanks for the suggestion and other info, it's really helpful.

Edit: Looks like that case limits you to a ~50mm lens, which would be pretty limiting for shooting birds. On the other hand, it sounds like it's fairly common to have 2 camera bodies to avoid having to change lenses when the camera is wet/dirty, so maybe we could use the D3500 with a short lens in a waterproof case, and also get a weatherproof camera with a super telephoto prime. Lots of options to consider...

Some level of weatherproofing in the camera and lens is a hard requirement for me, and I'm seeing a lot more options for Pentax lenses. But there's a good chance I'm just not looking for the right thing... Is there a weatherproof super telephoto DX mount lens for under $600? I'm finding Pentax lenses for around $200. Mainly looking at used gear, BTW.

Edit: also, by "stronger market" I meant more supply, which would push prices down. In hindsight that wasn't very clear...

Why can't/shouldn't a game be both? Plenty of games have easy modes and cheat consoles.

I honestly never realized people felt this strongly about literal horse shit. Not just you, but other commenters too. Blows my mind.

You don't have to use the same unit in all situations. Just ask the British.
