Do I need a Dry cabinet / Dehumidifier

[nmk]

I am pretty new to photography and until recently used P&S cameras.

Now that I have a D50 and a few lenses should I go ahead and get a dry cabinet. Any recommendations? Any other alternatives to prevent mould?

Thanks

yes you do, unless you sleep in an air conditioned room 365 days a year.
but it is better to be safe than sorry

U will regret not having a dry cabinet when years later you find your camera and lenses mouldy and you cannot even sell it away.

I think we need to sticky at least one of those " Do I need a dry cabinet?" question....:bsmilie:

Check out the range of electric dry cabinet by Digi Cabi @ www.digihub.com.sg

Or if you like to have a feel of these cabi, go to carrefour. They have a range of digi cabi from 30L ($99) to as large as 100L

useful if you have the space for it. I just use it to store all the camera stuff I don't need at the moment. Easy to find too. Rather have a dry cabinet than to use the dry box and make sure silica gel is exchanged/ready.

Well, you don't need one if you pass me all your equipment, I'll store them for you :devil:

sigh... sorry if i sound like a cranky guy early in the morning... but...

this "Do I need a dry cabinet?" question (in whichever shades of phrasing the question) reminds me of wat happened during the Titanic movie craze some years ago. it was reported in the newsweek magazine, at the height of the craze, dat japanese women (young and old) watch the movie hundreds of times OVER AND OVER AGAIN. the reason?

THEY ARE HOPING THAT LEONARDO DI KOPI-O WON'T DIE THE NEXT TIME THEY WATCH THE MOVIE...

so, for the sanity's sake, no matter how many times people ask this question, the answer will always be the same.

for crying out loud.... YES, U NEED A DRY CABINET.
