When the sky darkens, take out your camera

I am not crazy enough to risk my dSLR's longevity by shooting in the rain, but the people at Think Tank apparently think otherwise. If not, they wouldn't have engineered the Hydrophobia. Designed to be attached to the lens, just pull the raincover over the camera body and snap away when the rain clouds start gathering. Although there are alternatives out there, the Hydrophobia is seam-sealed for an added peace of mind. The strategically placed clear plastic covers enable you to view your LCD display. But what I really don't get about rain covers is why they come in different colors but never in all clear plastic?

So if you enjoy shooting wildlife and are willing to spend days on end waiting for your shot, or simply love capturing the rain, you can buy the Hydrophobia online for US$150. (Rain jacket for you not included!)
