Notes
- For MSRP Bin, I used MSRP because it changes less. Sales make it difficult to track current price
- Volume is often calculated from dimensions. It is the best approximation I could get. Generally I rounded down.
- Water Resistance is a very muddy area. I generally mean water resistant to mean it can take the odd rain shower, weather proof to mean it can handle a downpour, waterproof to mean you could leave it outside in a rainstorm in a puddle, and submersible to mean if it were thrown in a lake it would be fine.
I will be updating this table with more content as I am able to.
