Christine, I used to see the condensation problem with the PZ-1 and mechanical cameras. After getting the mirror, back of the lens, and prism wet, I was more careful. (bag it) The only real problem I had was with a new PZ-1 at a pig roast. The electronics died after shooting 30 minutes in the hot steam/smoke. Love your neighborhood pictures. 15 inches is not too much snow. And that must be the crazy running son! :-) Regards, Bob S.
