spec me a rain cover

Hi Guys,
I have a Nikon D90 and am interested in a rain cover/protection for the camera. Can anyone recommend me one? and also are they worth it and do they affect picture quality in any way?
Thanks

a cheap and cheerful option is the op tech rainsleeve. Its a glorified bag really with draw strings at the front to tighten round your lens and a hole for the eyepiece to slot over. What size of lens are you thinking about using with your camera in wet conditions?

I found the optech always fogged up for me, I use stormjackets but there are cheaper versions available

Coincidentally I've just tried to buy the medium stormjacket from WEX, but their site died on me! Runtime errors agogo!

{edit} Ah, it's working now. Stormjacket purchased!

I use storm jackets on my 7d and 70-200 f4 is. Why I use it when my camera is wether sealed is I used to use it with my 500d and it's become a habit.

at the moment i have kit lens 18-105 but thinking of getting possibly a 70-300 lens.
