When Pentax says the camera is weather proof/sealed what does that mean exactly ? Has anyone tried this claim out ? Is it weather sealed for light rain or can one take the camera out and shoot during a monsoon ? I would like to know if any brave soul has tried this as I want to take the camera and shoot in the mountains where weather and temperature changes quite often.
I don't know of any manufacturer that would claim that their camera is weather proof. Weather resistant maybe but that's about the extent of it unless it's something like an underwater sealed camera which the 645D most definitely is not.Typically it means resistant to showers but definitely not resistant to a dunk in the river.
