water proof?

[another view]

Something like this should work very well. I have a much less expensive version of the same idea that I bought on ebay a few years ago, and it's come in handy a few times.

If your gear gets wet, it's best to leave it out of the bag when you get home. Take the lens off, take the batteries out and lens caps off - whatever you can do to help it completely dry out. Also, carrying a small towel in the car will help.

I shoot at alot of sports events and when it rains the game still goes on. What can i do when it starts to pour? can the D70 handle rain? what about my lens can it handle rain also?

The D70 is not weather proof. I've shoot in the rain but I was under a tent, and put the camera under my coat when I ran to the barn. Water is not good for electronics. If you cover sports for a living then you should consider purchasing a weather proof camera and lense.

Other Photographers have posted and use plactic bags and tape to make a camera more weather proof.
