Re: PESO - Snowproofed

I've used my PZ-1p and *ist D NON-WEATHER SEALED cameras in rain and snow conditions numerous times where after shooting I needed to dry the camera with a towel and never had a problem. It would be interesting to know just how long one of these weather-sealed bodies would last in a controlled test
