Dampness on view and lense from mountain mornings.

The moisture comes from the air. Your camera case is not air tight, and so it does not keep the mosture carrying air away from the lens. Do you use a lens cap? If not, perhaps this by itself would solve your problem.

If you put the camera in an air tight plastic bag, case and all, the bag will keep the moisture carrying air away from the camera. When the moisture condenses, it will condense on the surface of the bag, instead of the on the camera.

Good luck.

Condensation occurs when you have a surface that is at a temperture below the dew point of the surrounding air. If your camera's surface termperature is higher than the dew point when you take it out of the bag, you shouldn't have trouble with condensation. If it is lower than the dew point, expect the dampness problems that you've experienced.
