Response to VX 1000 in Monsoon conditions?

from Chris Ward (Ward_Christopher@hotmail.com)
I haven't shot in a monsoon but I have shot in the rain with an umbrella and various plastic bags protecting my gear. I learned the hard way that the VX-1000 has a defense mechanism that kicks in when it detects a lot of moisture. It locks the door in the open position and won't close, aburtly ending the shoot. I had to take it back to Sony to be reset.

I just don't think these consumer cameras are designed to take the elements.

Good luck
