When I'm in humid Florida conditions, I leave my cameras in the bag outside on the balcony overnight. Then there is no humidity problem when I go out in the early morning hours to photograph. If you can't do this, then there are some great suggestions above. The key thing is to have the moisture condense on something other than your camera and lens, but remember that there are internal elements to the lenses which can fog unless you have them in a perfectly airtight container. The only other solution is to start out an hour early to give your gear a chance to acclimate.

in other words, no one knows what he/she is talking about!!! i see a lot of attempt to pass unscientific and personal experiences as a matter of fact answer! we all know that moisture building in the photographic gear, especially in the expensive lenses, can be a nightmare (in tropical areas in particular) and there is very little we can do about it. i think OP should go online and do a thorough research on this topic or seek professional opinion to remedy his issue, not to take everyone's personal little experience that doesn't explain the physics of moisture issue and how to prevent or deal with it in different circumstances, near enough. YMMD.
