No one with Nikon didn't want to stay in the rain and take pictures on the model we had at our disposal.
Why? Well, high end cameras from Nikon were provided by Nikon and they didn't allow us to use them in the rain, and the ones which had D7000, or D7100/D7200 were a little afraid.
They knew that they cameras are weather resistant (according to the Nikon's manual), but they didn't want to test their cameras along with my Pentax.
I even provoked them saying that I will donate my camera if there is anyone with Nikon D7000/D7100/D7200 willing to stay in the rain along with my Pentax K-3 II, as long as I'm willing to stay. Well, I still have my camera.
And we also had 2 guys with Sony A77 II. In very poor illumination (see the image below), Sony cameras simply couldn't focus. We had to light the model's face with a flashlight in order for them to focus. Very disappointed with focusing system from A77 II...
And again, in the same conditions, my K-3 II has managed to focus even without the help from the focus assist lamp.
By the way, I'm the one from the right, with a hood on his head.
