How should I store my camera? Is an expensive bag worth the money? What if I get caught in the rain?

All of these questions are things you may ask yourself after buying a new camera or going on a shooting trip. I'm here to speak from the point of view of the repair part of the photography industry. I believe that you get what you pay for!  But, purchasing a high end digital camera with weather seals does not necessarily mean that your camera will be totally safe from the environment.  A small amount of rubber here and there will not keep your baby protected from the sand and water. Protecting your camera from the environment is the first step in caring for your camera properly.
