Bought a Fuji XT3 at the weekend. What a great camera. Kit lens is also excellent
I did the same a couple of weeks ago.
X-T3 and the 18-55. Nice setup so far
Another Alcatraz pic from the inside, to continue the theme:

Really impressed with the XT3 now. It took a bit of learning as the controls as very different to a regular camera but finding manual focus a much more practical focus method now. But still need some practice.

The POTD thread isn't about sharing images taken on the day you post. It's a place to share your photos whenever they might have been taken (even if it was years ago--as have been most of my posts this month...). The "day" part of the title of this thread is about limiting posting to one image per day. But you may know this already given the emoticon you included
.I have a soft spot in my heart for pics of parents with children. They have a combination of story and emotion (if done well) that really engages the viewer.

Damn, hope the water resistance hold in salty water.
I’d certainly rinse it in tap water.

Mind the gap!
Smartphone waterproofing is not really a guarantee, and water damage is not covered under warranty. At best, I would only trust it to the point of getting splashed from a rain shower, or maybe the occasional drop to the toilet. Once you get so deep into the water, pressure does its thing, and water always tries to find a way. The rating is only good for 1m for up to 30 minutes. The insides are not waterproof, so you are counting on seals and gaskets to keep the inside dry.
I’ve brought my phone multiple times underwater in the last 2 years. I have apple care and every time they’ve had to do something to the phone they haven’t found any water inside. I got the screen replaced about a month ago. I’d say the deepest I’ve had it was 10 ft or so. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.
I’m sure their rating is conservative, like any good engineering project. I just would be apprehensive about your use case. I’m sure if you asked Apple, Samsung, etc, they would advise against taking their phones into the water intentionally. Certainly they would not like going below the 1m rating or for prolonged periods of time.
Oh I’m sure. I guess I just take that chance and get really good photos. I’ll probably eventually get a go pro.
