if you drop it a few million times it still works. it is great for our work environment, we load a lot of semi-trucks here and it has been dropped and still works flawlessly! it takes a lot of abuse from the guys that use it but still keeps ticking just fine! battery life is very good on these cameras, so if you are looking for a long-lasting camera that can take abuse, and that still keeps going - This is the perfect camera and the water resistance is very nice it helps when there is rain we don't have to worry about it getting soaked and not working .
