Re: [Digital BW] Canon 5D MkII - Moisture Issues?

2009-04-10 by Michael King

It is a real issue - I was on the trip.

Basically you can't safely take a 5DMk2 out in the rain - even with a
plastic cover on it (condensation).

But you get what you pay for - in this case a cost effective prof camera
that works great in the dry but not in the wet. If you want both then you
have to pay double the money.
