Weather-sealed cameras are more resilient to the elements. There currently is no official standard that defines what exactly weather sealed is. But, if a camera is weather sealed you can expect some level of protection from moisture and dust.
This process usually involves sealing all the camera joints with rubber. This makes the camera more water-resistant but not waterproof – so don’t plan on taking any dive shots!
As long you avoid prolonged exposure in wet conditions, you will still be able to take photos without issues.
Our Verdict
If you like shooting in wintery weather, or in a dust cloud at the side of a sports field, it’s important your camera is up to the job. A weather-sealed camera gives you more freedom, but it also should have the right specs for the job!
Now you have our list of recommendations it’s time to choose the best weather-sealed camera option for you.
Sand and dust are lethal for digital cameras!
Before you invest, it’s important to remember that there is no official standard that defines what exactly ‘weather sealed’ is.
We recommend checking each camera manufacturers own definition of what weather sealed means to them before you make a final decision.
