Thanks

As in raining? Or full on immersion?

Just a rain cover only

I made my own, sleeve from an old waterproof jacket with an elasticated sleeve end.
Does the job perfectly.
Cheap too.

Go to http://www.warehouseexpress.com/
And in the photographic section go to "Camera/Lens covers" some good products there.

There is always a large ziplock bag with a hole in it where the lens pops through and is taped around. Seriously. I know of 2 pro photographers who use this technique.

Believe it or not.

I'd believe it. I was considering it myself.

but...but...but.. i had the same idea and then got freaked out about condensation and stuff like that, and didnt do it.
isnt condensation an issue?
maybe i'm just freakin out cause technically the bank still own a large proportion of my camera! sux0r.:(

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Still looking at the moment as to other solutions available.

When I get the other info through, I will post it up here for all to see.

You can get stuff to absorb the condensation - usually used for underwater cameras but it would do the trick on land too. See Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Sealife-Small-Moisture-Muncher-10-Pack/dp/B0000DCW2V

Or just throw in a silicon salts thing that is always with other packaged electronics and stuff?
