Re: Weather-sealed gear and lens front element

I am an avid hiker/backpacker. I've always carried a camera, and live on the east coast USA. Summers are very humid, can be rainy, and winter snow is usually wet snow.

One of the reasons why I bought a G9 was for its weather resistance. I have a G7, and a G2, both of which would get used only if I had a means to protect them from moisture. The G2 got dunked in a fall crossing a way too deep stream, (was able to dry it out though), but I always felt I was  missing some nice shots because of the weather.  I will be replacing my main lens with a water resistant one as well. I would feel better about my setup because I am unable to really dry things off for several days at a time.
