I tend to take my small digital P&S everywhere I go, but since the weather around here is ALWAYS changing (it once went from dry heat to thunderstorm in 2 hours), I want to protect my camera from the elements.
Some problems:
-I'm always sweating, especially during long hikes, which means anything sticking to my body will soon be hot too
-My camera doesn't have a "real" lens cover, just a thin piece of opening plastic cover that can be accidently bumped open
-I carry water in my bag, which occasionally spills/leaks
-The worst are dust clouds which are often kicked up, especially by cars and other people
What's the best way to protect your camera from bumps, temperature changes, dust clouds, and other dangers during long camping trips? Should I stick the camera in some kind of special bag which can shield against these things?
