How do you keep your camera from fogging?

[lovesdumbo]

When I went to WDW last Aug it would take quite a while for my camera to stop fogging when I went outside in the morning after being in the AC all night. I would say it seemed like it took over 15 minutes. It would fog up after character meals too but clear up quicker.

Do you think if I brought a cooler with me on my next trip to put my camera in at night that would help keep it warm?

Anyone else have this problem?

no cooler needed. All you need is a garbage bag. Going from cooler to warmer temperature, condensation will happen, by putting the camera in a garbage bag, the condensation will occur in the bag but not the camera.

I used this method everytime I have to do photoshoot outdoors in Asia (the hotels are well ACd but very hot and humid outside) or when I'm bringing my camera after an outdoor shoot during winter time (warmer and more-humid situation indoors).

Why didn't someone tell me that before. Never thought of that.

WOW-thanks! Will any plastic bag work? Can I use a zip lock bag?

any plastic bag that can completely cover the camera and leaves no hole will work. Garbage bag is just much cheaper than ziplock bag... also you can use it as a... garbage bag (a bonus feature I adore)
