>>4213948>manual lens99% of "weather sealing" is just keeping large amounts of water (not all water/humidity even) out of the mount, which is the fastest way for water to touch a sensitive electronic part, and that will totally defeat it.
>>4213851An olympus tough series point and shoot. If a camera is not marketed as waterproof to some depth, even one meter, "weather sealing" is marketing babble. I have had non weather sealed cameras and sony cameras survive worse conditions that promptly killed "weather sealed" DSLRs and the internet is full of supporting and contradictory anecdotes "my camera survive faucet" "my camera die in rain" because ultimately...
There is no actual difference between a camera that is "weather sealed" and one that is not. It's shit like: they put a piece of rubber between the button and the circuit board. It's the same construction as every flip phone and gameboy.
inb4 salty brandfag anecdotes. If your camera is weather sealed, go ask the company that made it which circumstances their warranty will cover water damage under. Ask them that if you were filming someone using their product in the rain, and it died, if that would be covered, and fuji/sony/canon/olympus/nikon would say "it's technically called weather resistant and the IPXX rating if any only protects against water with a velocity of number number from an angle of number number for a duration of number number, not covered my basterd goodbye sirs"
