This:  I use my equipment. Honestly, this is my friends camera, but I helped play with it in the mud (we drew straws whose camera we were going to use). Decided it was a good idea to bring the camera into a mud volcano in Columbia to take a few pictures. Good times.

wow that's nuts. What model of camera is that? shooting in an enviroment like a mud volcano I'd be looking at gopro or contour or something of that ilk. Though with that said if I had money to burn I'd just buy a backup body on the cheap slap a nifty fifty on it and do all the stuff I'd be afraid to with a more expensive setup.

I am all for actually using your gear and not treating it like your first baby, but for use in a mud volcano... I might use a bit of protection: Amazon.com: OP/TECH USA Rainsleeve - 18-Inch (2-Pack): Camera & Photo I usually have a couple of these in my kit and if I think a PB game is going to be particularly messy I'll throw one on. |

Usually when I mix modern electronics and mud it works out well. Treating equipment nice does not take a lot.
