Deadpoet said:Absolutely, salt and moistures are death to electronics, so keep your camera in the dry cabinet, and forget about taking picture by the sea. For all of the photographers who love to shoot bikini babes on the beach are asking for trouble. Their cameras are as good as dead. Those who change lenses on the beach are just making the death of their camera that much more faster.
Singapore's humidity is so high, it is a major problem for any electronic equipment. Every time you take your camera out of the dry cabinet, the more you use your camera, the shorter it's lifespan is going to be.
The best thing for a photography enthusiast with a brand new DSLR, inorder to maintain the mint condition of the camera, IS NEVER USE IT, and if usage is inevitable, try to make sure it's in an air conditioned room, preferrably, the same room as teh dry cabinet.
