Its alright Kenji we all love canon so its bound to happen countless times with double posting. By the way saw that picture you posted over at that thread. That was insane! -Omar- Flickr

Last weekend it was rainy and windy and we went to the beach. I took my 7D, no bag at all to put it in. Shot for an hour with rain pouring down. The 7D worked flawlessly.

Saxi Goldmember  2,781 posts Joined Mar 2008 Location: NH, USA More info | Dec 12, 2009 05:14 | #14 I've used my 50D and 7D in light rain/snow and my 7D in heavy rain. Never had a problem, but when I go in bad weather I only use the 70-200 and will not use my 17-55. Never had I had put the camera in the conditions he mentioned in this article, but makes me feel much more comfortable with my 7D in the rain. I tend to be overly cautious of my gear and treat them like my 2 year old son but I haven't really feared rain or snow. I have been more concerned about either getting on the front of the lens making it impossible to shoot after that until I could get home and clean it. 5D III, 24-105mm f/4 L, 135mm f/2 L, 70-200mm f/4 IS L, 580EX II
