transparent plastic bag and rubber band. thats it....Hi,
I'm quite scared to take my camera out to take photos at the beach, though there's so much opportunities there. Just wondering how do others protect the camera in sandy places like the beach, sanddunes and the desert?
Cheers!

leave the lens out of the plastic and use the rubber band to "fix" the plastic to the lens barrel near mount. It works best with lenses that do not extend when zooming.
no problem whatsoever at the beach, i spend most of my camera time there.
you should be more worried about saltwater from the sea spray if you get too close, but even then, to be honest, if you wipe it off quickly, or put a filter, there is no real issue, though of course, getting it direct on front element is never desirable.
as for desert, no idea, how many of you here would have gone desert anyways? :bsmilie:
