Just want your ideas on what you do when the weather is bad.
What I've done so far is use a plastic bag and when I get in the car wrap the camera with a towel to absorb the humidity.
1) I typically just avoid the humid weather to protect the gear. I've seen the rain jackets at B&H Photo. What do you use?
2) Also
I assume there isn't anything affordable that is "water proof" - possibly going on a cruise in future considering "The Baths - Gorda but afraid I may need to bring a point n shoot for that excursion - hate to risk damaging my good cameras but the pictures there would be nice.
When we went to Niagara Falls, I went online and bought a camera cover. It's a plastic bag designed to fit a camera and lenses. Worked fabulously. It even kept my camera strap relatively dry because it was so big. It was really cheap, too. I think I got mine on Amazon.
Hate to say it---because it doesn't help your situation--but I bought my camera with that in mind. It's a Pentax K-30, and both the camera and lens are "weather-proof" so I can take in out in the rain and snow. I just wipe it off a little when I get home if it gets really wet.
When my husband went to Iraq, I got him a Pentex Optio that was water and sand proof. Took fabulous pictures, wasn't that expensive. He still uses it, when he can find the charger.
I take my camera out when there is a threat of rain. I bring a large ziplock bag and towel. If it starts raining too hard, I dry it off, pop it in the bag and then thoroughly dry when I get home. If it were me, I'd bring my camera. Not sure I'd be happy with a point and shoot. The cabins must have AC...it can "dry" out when you are in the cabin....? Good luck, tough decision!
