I am going to the UK and don't want to miss shots if it is raining.
I have read about getting a raincoat for my camera.
Do these really work and if so which one would you suggest

They were like $5 for 2 rain coats and they've worked great. Cheap, durable enough for a day of shooting, and they just work. Some cameras, some lenses, plenty of gaffer's tape and beer.

Can get bit windy here and couple that with rain can cause marks on the front element. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.
