I was asked to photograph an inauguration protest and counterprotest tonight. Problem is, it's started to pour, and my only camera good for fast, lowlight photography is expensive and isn't waterproof as far as I know. I've never had to shoot outdoors in terrible weather before - what do I do?

I'm more worried about rain damaging my camera than about the protesters or the cops, but any tips in that area, too?

Plastic bag or a cheap rain cover will do the trick

Not imply I won't happily take advice on cheap camera covers to purchase in case this comes up in the future.

>expensive and isn't waterproof
If it's a Sony leave it at home. Putting it in a plastic bag will cause it to self destruct from the inside out, then explode.
