    If all you want is something to protect your camera during a shower, then a shower cap (yes, quite literally a shower cap!) does the job nicely. I have one tucked away at the bottom of my bag for just such a reason; takes up virtually no space and has a nice elasticated edge which keeps it snug against the camera. Must take a shot of it in use during the week and post it here.

    yes I have a shower cap in my camera bag, after you recommended that before. but it wont fit over my 400L on the 30D.

    what prompted me to look at things was I was out on a boat trip the other day viewing the seals, and the spray from the boat kept splashing, i ended up using my waterproof coat to cover my camera and I got wet!

    so i was looking for something I could wrap or cover the camera with in these sorts of situations. so i would just leave it on for the duration of the session

    I keep a plastic bag in the camera bag. Simply tear a corner out of it, put the camera in the bag and stick the lens out through the new hole. I can then hold the top of the bag around the body.
