[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 957634, member: 369937"] This is a breakdown of the rubber it's self, this due to the composition of the rubber used, they add stuff to make it softer to keep the camera from slipping out of your hands. Normal daily use keeps the stickiness at bay due to handling and oils from your skin, but after a long term storage in open air (or in a camera bag) it can develop a sticky skin. One possible solution is to use some "Goo-Gone" on it, then clean it off with some Windex and a cloth towel, but test it on a small area first to see that it does not totally destroy the rubber sleeve. The best solution is to see if there is a replacement cover for this camera. And if your going to store it again for a long time then wrap it in a soft dish towel and store it in a zip-lock baggy, if you have some the put one of those moisture absorbing packs into the bag, then suck the air out of it before closing it up, this may keep it from happening again.
