Weather sealing

A condom for your camera!

The video on the front page really tells you everything you need to know about the product, even though I watched it without sound.

Seems fairly pricey, but if you want serious protection and you can control your camera with your eyes shut, don't want to chimp, don't want to confirm you camera settings, don't ever knock buttons and don't plan on changing cards or batteries in the field maybe it's a good idea.

And zooming looks like it would be hard too!

Might be good if they come up with a clear condom :)

It looks like too much trouble. An umbrella may suffice.

Still, i am sure there are applications that this may be useful. I just can't think of any that can't be bettered more easily.
