Digital BW, The Print

Sam,

I do not have the battery grip. 

Condensation is always a problem in going from a cold to a warm environment
but it has never stopped any camera I have had from working in the past. It
did make it impossible to see through the viewfinder and lens but the camera
still worked it you wanted hazy photos. From what I read regarding this
issue I took the information to mean that the electronics of the camera
stopped working and in most cases never started working again. Is there
anyone who has had this happen who can explain more?

Thanks for your prompt response, Gary.

I'm concerned too about the threat from wetness. I've always avoided 
rainy weather (no snow where I live), but I haven't been worrying 
about condensation. Now that I am, I'm curious to know whether you 
were wearing the battery grip (BG-E6) on the bottom of your 5D2, and 
whether you ever noticed condensation with your "old" camera(s)? I 
never have, in the several years I've been trying to learn 
photography, and I usually get a good look after I come in from 
shooting, because I take off whatever lens was on and even take the 
filter off it (for cleaning) before storing everything separately (in 
neoprene bags).

Thanks again.
