Equipment care tip's for wet environment?

[Mike Witherspoon]

I live in Phoenix AZ so keeping the camera dry here is not a major problem. I've got a couple of large desiccant packs in the camera bag already.

So here's the question; I'll be vacationing alonge the Pacific northwest coast (Washington & Oregon) the last two weeks in June. What extra precautions for the camera equipment are there for this wet climate?

Not just travel and storage but operational use as well.

Thanks.

Really, it's not a big deal. I carry my camera with me on misty/foggy/rainy days all the time. Your camera is much more hardy than you think it is.

Maybe a few basics:

- Bring a cloth to clean the lens if you need it
- Don't change the lens where water can get in

Otherwise, just have fun! Most cameras are sealed so well that it just won't matter.
