Shaun, My PZ-1 died at a wet pig roast. I didn't get the camera wet really, but some drops combined with the humidity of a steaming pig put it out of commission. Electronics controlling the autofocus got a mind of their own and the lens began to hunt whenever the camera was powered up! Pentax Colorado fixed it under warranty, but were sooooo sloooow. You might consider taking a backup body you were willing to sacrifice along with the LX.
