>>2883294I abuse my fuji XE-1 with rain quite a bit, of course during heavier downpours I go out to shoot with an umbrella, but that doesn't keep the camera from getting pretty wet. I'm a bit worried that if I do this too much it'll crap out on me all of a sudden one day though, which is why I'm contemplating an XT-1.
>>2883298rain can be inspiring, it offers a change in the environment you usually shoot in. I actually never went out to shoot during the rain for a long period of time, then one day I look through all of my photos and realized that I have absolutely zero photo that depicted rain, so I kinda set that as an assignment for myself - to shoot in the rain for once, and I actually enjoyed it quite a lot thus I do it quite frequently now. you really should try everything out at least once, anon.
