The thing to watch out for is sudden changes in T&H. Taking a camera from an air-conditioned environment into somewhere hot and humid is a sure way of getting everything coated in condensation. Unless you give the camera time to equilibrate.

Some dSLRs (and some lenses) are weather-proofed. They shouldn't be too badly affected by condensation.
