We have two cameras with us on this trip... a smaller Fuji camera and our new Canon EOS Digital Rebel. The Fuji got dropped in the sand earlier this year when we were hiking the Zion Narrows and is no longer able to zoom in on anything. This morning, on the way down to the beach, I was holding the Canon when I slipped and fell and got sand all up in the lens. As we were trying to clean the sand out we somehow managed to completely screw up the telescoping mechanism and now the zoom lens is stuck out. So, now we have one camera that can't zoom in and another that can't zoom out :)
At least the camera itself seems to still be working fine. We're going to try and stop by a camera shop tomorrow to get the lens repaired or replaced. We have such horrible luck with cameras :(

Please stop hurting your cameras. They have feelings too you know.
Sand is your enemy, where cameras are involved ! Keep a tight grip on that baby, you guys :)
You know, they make hard, durable, cases for those things. Or you could just get one of those underwater cases. Not only are they watertight, they're sand-tight, too!
