As a rule, I bring one camera body per lens during tough weather conditions. When I return home, all gear goes straight into the dry cabinet. I even consider buying a separate cabinet where I keep a lower humidity for drying up humid equipment.
There is a reason that Nikon don't say anywhere in their marketing materials that the camera is waterproof, and that while they claim 'weather sealing' (no other industry uses such an absurd term) will not cover moisture damage under warranty repair. A similar reason that for all the BS talk about how their cameras can 'hammer in nails' or is 'built like a tank', 95% of DSLR owners will have their buttocks clench the moment their grip slips or if their camera gets dropped onto anything resembling a solid surface.
Actually, the industry hates to make concrete claims because the customers never read the specs. Then the manufacturers are lumbered with irate customers that want to claim the product failed rather than to own up to their own mistakes.
