Preventing dew in video cameras?

[calicruzr]

Went to Eastern Carribean last year and ruined my video camera! Anyone know how to prevent dew from accumulating in my new one I had to buy for next weeks cruise to Western Carribean? Help!!!!

You get a very good sturdy insulated carry case. Keep the case wrapped in a towel in the lower part of the closest.

 

The cabins are very cold and the outside is very warm. Taking a camera fromth inside to the outside quickly causes the condensation build up.

We just wrapped ours in a towel and it did fine.

I've had this happen. I have now learned (and it worked just fine on my last cruise) to wrap the camcorder in a handtowel, and put it back into it's case. I don't re-zip the case, and just leave it out on a table. JUST prior to leaving the cabin, take the camera out, and it should go through the gradual warming up process before you get up on deck.

Thank you everyone for replying, this was really a concern of mine.

Happy cruising!
