Several times I got "What kind of camera is that?" OK, so it doesn't beat "testing water quality".

Hello:
Once a person asked me if I was testing water quality (at the edge of Cape
Cod Bay 20 ft above the waterline). Go figure or beat
that!
Best wishes and Holiday Joy to all.

In my experience in the past few years, to non-technical people they are all
"funny-looking cameras". :)
