>>4194167It's marketing, so it doesn't matter if the camera works the next week, or the next month, or will 90% survive that once but times 2 and 3 will definitely start fungus growth/corrosion or gunk up the shutter blades and cause total failure a year later as the parts wear and fall out of tolerance. It only matters if it works for the review period.
Sony did this exact same shit with the A7 A7II and A7III but because sony's sales are significantly higher, a lot of people quickly found out that most of the cameras would not survive continued rough treatment. If pentaxforums has maybe 5 people saying "i went out in the rain and my pentax threw an error until it dried out" and 3 people saying "it died forever!", sony will have several thousand such reports, just because they sell that many more cameras. Fuji is also doing the same thing - no IP rating provided but reviews include a short water/dirt exposure and a single short function check.
Notice pentax doesn't provide IP ratings. An IP rating means the camera was tested in those conditions, opened up, and checked for ingress, so ingress without immediate failure doesn't count like it would for youtube. Only Leica and Olympus, to my knowledge, not only provide IP ratings but will repair weather damage even thought the warranty doesn't explicitly cover it.
