I have a minolta dimage 5, great camera!
But, Im really carefull about the wet weather, I use a dry box to keep it in and pull it out just for a few minutes at a time. Usally I keep it in my hood of my raincoat while shooting, and a dry towell in case it gets wet at all. Of course take it in the house in the evening. I carry a minlota 35mm in case its just too nasty to break out the digi.
I really like the dimage 5 though.
