Re: Very good Memory Card!
Do you expect anything else from a SanDisk?

Great story. Maybe the insurance company will want a bit of a refund.

And Sandisk will have a good reason to brag about it too. Sandisk is really good. I have the extreme versions though...

Re: Very good Memory Card!
According to SanDisk, the Ultra cards (like the one in this story) are actually more robust than the Extreme and Extreme Pro series. Ultras are rated to withstand 3 days in 1m (3.3ft) of salt water. The Pentax Optio W20 is also waterproof, rated to JIS 8 ("continuous immersion"), depth and time not specified.
