Take large plastic bags with you when you go out to shoot. Before you come back in, place the camera and any other gear you took out there (lenses, light meters) into the bags and seal them with some air inside. Place them in the coolest area of the house and let them warm up slowly. The condensation will collect on the outside of the bags. Also keep silca in the camera bag. I just use the packets that seem to come in everything these days. You can reuse them by baking them in the oven overnight with just the pilot light.
