Hi Bob,

Thanks for looking. The camera is a Canon 1D Mark II. One of the reasons 
I bought it (had a Canon 20D before) was that it is designed to be used 
in muggy environments--it has good weather sealing, and so do most of 
the Canon L lenses. I have used it in pretty heavy rain, and the weather 
sealing definitely works. The only ill effect have been the rain drops 
on the glass, because I hate the huge Canon lens hoods and leave them at 
home most of the time.
