Great video. Glad I’m not the only one who has a work camera and a family time camera. I love the combo of the RP and RF 24-240mm as a family time vacation camera. Lite enough to carry around all day, enjoyable to use, and if something happens to it I wouldn’t be devastated like if it was my R5 and 70-200mm

Nice life/work balance example that you're providing. A splash or two on the beach shouldn't be a problem, but a clean, damp (tap water) wipe down is what I do to keep my gear clean. I avoid changing lenses on the beach. I have friends that are resort photogs and they only take their old cameras on the beach.

Great video! Living in Hawaii, unless it's a client, (I hate to admit) I'm almost always grabbing my phone to take pics or videos of my kids at the beach.

Also, it's less stress for me not having to worry about someone stealing my camera while I'm in the water or away from my stuff.
