If your skin isn't burning you and the camera will be fine.
ETA: DO NOT do any lens swapping while ash is flying around!!!! you can seriously screw up the sensor |

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, pick one lens and stick with it... |

my sony cybershot has survived being locked in my truck through a couple texas summers. i'd imagine that it gets up to well over 120 inside. if my camera is fine like that for hours on end, i'm sure yours will be fine outside of a burning house for a minute or two.

In general, if your fingers don't hurt from the heat, the plastic isn't going to suffer. The smoke, on the other hand, can be detrimental to electrical contacts and mechanical parts if it gets into the works. Any chance you can use a cheapie/disposable? Jim |

I've used cameras to take pictures of the forging of knives and about half meter from the fully heated oven and they didn't have any problem.

I've heard that the heat can have a damaging effect on some of the adhesives used in the construction of cameras, but I would say that it depends on the intensity and length of exposure.

beware of chemical fumes. If you need a respirator your camera guts and lens coatings may get screwed up.
Make sure the lens has at least a protection filter. |

It sounded like he wanted a shot inside the house... |

That is a good idea, I don't have one for any of my lenses... |

My Nikon D70 survived taking this shot and a whole other house burn this last weekend.
One thing to remember is that if there's no ventilation going on then you won't get much in the way of interior shots.

 My lenses are never without one. Filters are cheaper than lenses.

I carry a cheapie 35mm in the pocket of my bunkers all the time. I'm not sure about the digital, but my camera has been through a LOT and still works just fine. The case looks like hell, but the lens has only had to be cleaned a couple times.
