Today i took my 40d with me to the zoo to take some shots all was fine in the beginning until I made the mistake to walk in to a tropical house with it. Midway through the house i could feel moisture building up very badly on the camera so i went outside, unfortunately the outside temperature was 2C which did not seem to help either.
After the camera dried off I walked over to the Tiger area and began to take shots, within my first shot i got an ERR 99 message informing me to turn off the camera. I turned off the camera and reloaded the batteries and after a few moments I got the message again then I would get off a couple of more shots again and then the camera would report errors, then of nowehere the errors stopped and I was able to shoot for a good 40 minutes before encountering more errors and now I am afraid to even use it.
Should I run some more tests with other lens combos or should i send it to Canon straight away, or is this something I could possibly fix on my own?
I was using a 1.4x tc and 300mm lens on the camera the whole time.

Not odd at all. I decided to do that the very night it happened and the next day the camera was error free and still continues to be error free. *knock wood*
