Any advise? Got myself a dry cabinet Digi Cabi 30 litres. What is the recommended humidity to keep the camera?

45-55. Keep the power supply on. Cabinet consumes very little power.

Errr.... a 30 litres dry cabinet is a bit small don't you think so.

If you seek my opinion, I always advise photographers to purchase a 60-litres at least.

or maybe he purely point and shoot person. grow and add more pns cam also still go space :grin:

on a more serious note, 30L is small. in fact i think 60L also small. i need 120L :cheers:

I know a 'senior citizen' photographer who is able to squeeze a Nikon D3, D300, 80-400, 70-200, 24-70, 14-24, 17-55, 18-200, 135 DC, 105 Micro VR, 85 f1.4 and 50 f1.4 into a 60 litres dry cabinet, and still got enough room for his Sony Handycam.

I am beginning to love my 60L more now. Sometimes I grow, sometimes I downsize.

Yeap... a 60-litre dry cabinet is a good size for the average photo hobbyist.

I have two 60-litre dry cabinets not for photography equipment but to store my collection of rare and limited-pressing music CDs.
