I've already spent more than RM1.5k on dSLR accessories and I don't even have a dSLR yet.

Bring your gear out more in the sun and you won't have to worry about fungus. I keep my gears inside the car boot parked under the hot sun and no fungus will ever be able to breed or live. No need dry cabinet. I got one on the move.

I parked inside the company car park. So no worries about it being jacked. Furthermore, it's a 5 year old Wira and didn't wash for a long time. I don't think the thief would even bother to break in.

Actually, the temperature inside the car boot is much lower than in the car itself. Furthermore, cameras are tested to be kept at up to 65C which is not reachable inside the car boot. Coupled with being kept inside a Lowepro bag, I'm convinced there will be no problem. One more thing, I don't think smoke from the exhaust should leak into the car boot. If it does, you'd better get your car checked.

Well, if you park your car in a public place, I don't recommend leaving anything expensive inside the car boot. Furthermore, the storage and operation temperature of any equipment is different. Storage temperature usually can be at least 20C higher than operation temperature. Therefore, no worries of putting any equipment like laptops or cameras in the boot.

I put my gears in the car boot because I park inside the vicinity of my company. No worries of them being jacked. There is no problem with my gears after doing this for countless of times and they are already about 4 years old and working great!
