This is a great post, Pat. My Canon was weather sealed my little Sony is not so I will be interested to read the follow-up posts in this thread. I have a weather sleeve for the Canon as well but it's really too big for the little camera.

Thanks Pat. Good topic. Fortunately, we don't get much rain here, so I don't have any special covers. Would not go hiking in the rain as a general rule. Somehow I managed when we were on the Island for one month in March 2016. And did it rain!! Wow! If pictures must be taken, I'll hide my camera with smaller lens under a waterproof coat. My underwater P&S Canon would do in a pinch, but image quality is not so great. My large LowePro sling camera bag (love it) has a build-in rain hood BUT my new 600-mm lens won't fit in it which is a concern. Maybe I need an assistant with an umbrella.  Thanks for the links.

I'm free, Clive. And I have my own brolly. I have a camera bag with a zipped end to it. I wondered what was the reason for that. Thanks for mentioning that, Clive. |

Unfortunately I didn't have any kind of weather protection for my Lumix FZ1000 and it got pummelled by a wave while out on a boat in Vancouver. It has never been quite the same since  |

I have had this on my want list for a few months: www.amazon.com/dp/B07W6H199D/?coliid=I1DGE0H79SY86P&colid=2UVE31K6Y6GK2&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_itI clicked both of your links and my security program refused them both; in fact, it refuses every link on this site only, something about ad tracking. On EDIT: I just tried my own link and it refuses it as well; I have never experienced that on any other site and didn't use to have the problem here. I copy/pasted the name portion of the Nubrella in Amazon and was able to see it. From my eye, the one I linked to looks like it would shed more rain; plus, one could replace the umbrella that comes with it with one of those that comes way on down there and really be out of the rain. I might change my thinking if I had both in my hands. A nice wonderful rainless day in Kentucky is a rare event indeed. Being first and always a rough country horseman, I have some of those "Man From Snowy River" oil-skin Australian drover coats that I will hide my camera under (along with me); I don't believe a metal roof could be any more waterproof than those oil-skin dusters. My advice to anyone buying one of those drover coats is to get one two or three sizes bigger than the size that stylishly fits; the bigger it is, the more things you can hide in there, plus you can wear it on top of a winter coat. |
