I do occasional "foul weather" photography with, usually, K-series bodies. I put them under a bit of chamois. Not the Photo Chamois, just an old, well washed, CAR chamois. Better, AFAIK, than a towel or two. Ain't had a problem yet, but I'm not a Pro.

And then there was the comment about the PZ-1's lack of sealing. Someone's camera quit in a drizzle. I've had my PZ-1 since Christmas 1995 and used it professionally in various weather conditions and at least twice in situations near waterfalls where I had to wipe the spray off the front of the lens between shots (all shots). Rain. Freezing cold. Humid tropical beaches. Delivery room ... (OK, nothing there to bother the *camera*!) It's never quit or gone crazy. The only problem I've ever had with that camera was a little crack on the baseplate. The local dealer (there was one at the time) easily replaced the baseplate. It truly was news to me that it's not well sealed -- I've never noticed stuff getting in.
