Digital cameras through X-Ray machines...
at airports.

Do they do any harm to the camera or digital storage media?

Thanks

1. I think that's just film cameras
Googling your subject line yields a gazillion help sites saying that it isn't a problem with digital media. Of course, this is still the internets, so accuracy is not guaranteed, but I think it's a fair bet. Now dropping them in the river, I can tell you from experience, is not a good idea...

2. No, no problem.
I've done it 6 times in the past year. X-rays do not effect digital cameras.

3. I've taken mine through many times. Not a problem.

4. They are fine -- that's why I switched to digital --
But my engineer type friends remind me to never allow the "security" jerks to wave their wands over a digital camera.
