>>4170364I still can't believe photographers actually fall for that shit. When watches are rated for use underwater, either the buttons are pressing other buttons under a layer of rubber, or you aren't meant to use the buttons at all if your watch is damp, and you're meant to get all the seals checked every two years. The best camera weather sealing on earth amounts to less protection than you get on a $25 casio watch. The parts are just tightly fitted and there are rubber strips and O rings here and there, meaning after a year of dust grinding against stuff and wear and tear, if you use the buttons/wheels it will move water past the seals. And then there's the lens. Even internal zoom/focus designs pump air. Usually they only find out when they get salt spray on the camera because rainwater evaporates and does nothing. The weather sealing is doing less than solid state electronics just being as durable as they usually are.
