I am in Miami this week (unfortunatly leaving today) but this morning I finally got up early enough to see the sun rise and my camera took most of the time recovering after much wiping of the effects of being in the a/c and then being outside. I didn't have a balcony so there was no time to leave it out to adjust to the weather. Any tricks you know beside wiping it 50 times to make that adjustment smoother?

just let it do its thing, wiping it doesnt help it, its the temperature inside the camera that is clashing with the outside temp and the humidity that is making it foggy, just let it balance itself out it may take a while but tis the only way

You can try force-warming the camera (gently!) using a hair dryer on low heat from a few feet away. Be very careful if you do this, you must heat it slowly and not hit it directly with air that's hot enough to be uncomfortable on your skin. Warming the cam so it is just barely warm to the touch will completely eliminate condensation.
One note: the insides of the cam will still be cooler, and condensation could possibly hapen there if enough outside air gets inside. Don't change lenses until the camera has had time to stabilize to the outside temperature.
