A Canon 40D can take far more punishment - thank goodness - than I would have imagined. I took one through the cave complex at Calcehtok in the Yucatan this past weekend, a trip that has obliterated many cameras before. Our intrepid trio, led by a third generation guide to the caves, scrambled up muddy walls, slithered along rock ledges 20 meters above the cave floors, and slid down from these perches on our butts. Elegant, we were not. The 40D, with a 50mm 1.4 attached, bounced off every outcrop, slammed against walls we abseiled, and was covered in grime and mud. And never missed a shot. Here, my brother Anthony dips into a Mayan water bowl, which has been collecting water drops for more than four hundred years at the cave entrance.

Nice shot - like the hands in the light against the dark backdrop. Good eye! Hb...
