When looking through which camera’s and lenses you want to invest in, one of the features they love to throw out there is that the camera is water resistant. But, the truth of the matter is that the camera body and lenses, while SLIGHTLY water resistant are not waterproof. In San Diego, we do not have too much of an issue with excessive rain, however, there have been cases where even dust, a drizzle or too much moisture has caused a camera to stop working. The worst part about this is that camera warranties usually don’t consider water damage under issues they fix for free. That is why keeping your camera dry is very important not only for the sake of your camera, but your wallet. That is also why we are recommending investing in a rain cover for your camera to withstand horrible weather conditions.
