    What you want is something with no moving parts. The tape transports are powered by motors and anyone who played with electrical motors as a kid knows that electric motor have brushes that generate tiny little sparks. Which reminds me… aren’t the zoom lenses powered by electrical motors? Even for the EX?

    I would check with camera manufacturers. Kinda hard to fine a camera without some kind of electric motor in it even if it’s tapeless.

    put a camera into a waterproof housing would be 1 solution that way the camera is ‘sealed’ away from the air around it
