Been there with the D7 many times. No moisture issues I know of with
the 722, 744 or HIMD for that matter in 100% humidity for days back
to back. I know the 7XX's are being exposed to the humidity because
there's no way to seal it in an air/water tight container unless the
outside air is less than 20 degrees F. I always leave a crack in the
pack to let the heat from the SD escape. They get _seriously_ hot
and if the air temp is hot too, you pretty much have to get it out in
the open. Even so-- no humdity related problems up here in the
midwest that I can report. Rob D.
