Only for so long. They need replacing regularly otherwise they add to the damp once they're 'full' I had a similar thing happen to my 70-200mm F/4 IS that ended up full of it because it was closest to the silica gel packet. Was absolutely gutted but it was my own fault leaving it in a room...

It would appear he got his cheeks clapped...

If it works with other discs fine, it must be an issue with the disc itself.

You need the 'Blu-ray Player' app installed to play video discs.

So he starts a thread asking if a camera for £25 is a good deal, to mixed responses. Then he goes and buys the exact same model for £60... Half decent entertainment for us I suppose.

I bought this one for my 488RC2 last week, so can't promise it'll fit on an xPro. I'm happy with the quality and finish of it. Even came with a small hex key. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075SDKK1K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I've also not found the sensor cleanliness an issue. I've cleaned it once in 9 years of ownership.

Light weight - sturdy - inexpensive Pick two. All three is impossible.

Price of everything is mental lately on the used market, thanks to covid tax it seems. Back in 2011 or so I picked up a couple Olympus mju-II film cameras from charity shops for £3 each. Back then they were worth around £30. Move forward to present day and I found them in a box so thought I'd...

With such a low barrier of entry it'd be rude not to give one a go. Just try and get one with a late serial number if you can, something starting with 32 would be perfect. I'm sure when you hear the shutter and undamped mirror fire off for the first time you'll crack a smile!

If you're happy with the lack of any tech you may have become accustomed to such as live view, decent sized screen with touch etc. Then I'm sure you'll love it. I bought one back in 2012, a late example that had the mirror issue fixed and I still have it now. Many cameras have come and gone but...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073C7Z3K5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 According to CCC the price dropped to this from £109 on the 28/29th of May. Lowest it's ever been, I've already ordered one for myself. :)

It's been happening for a while, only on in-demand cameras and lenses. Fortunately it seems that people aren't being fooled as they never sell.
