Originally posted by karro they didn't make it clear, but they didn't claim that it can or should be done, either, so, I guess I missed your point?..
in the context, what does it even mean - to make it clear, and how is it related to the original thread at all?
and I have no reason to believe otherwise. again, I feel for the OP, but I missed the post where s/he told, which lens was used during the shoot. if the lens was not WR, water could seep in at the lens mount => "entered from below" => all the pain. but I admit, I'm speculating now and hopefully it will be resolved so everybody's happy.
Sorry for the mis-understanding.
That was a post where I was being facetious ( as I admitted in the follow up post) . That was not a serious suggestion.
I must be more careful in the future.
It is obviously unreasonable to expect a camera to remain weather sealed while operating the card or battery door, or opening the download cable cover or changing a lens and I don`t seriously expect anyone on this site has such expectations. And I apologise if I gave that impression.
I think it is reasonable to expect the K3 in that promo to be able to be operated ( ie just operate the external controls) in the rain providing you don`t do any of the above.
If I`d bought one and it turned out to be not so capable I would feel entitled to be disappointed, as it is such a big selling point.
I`m not saying they are not excellent cameras, and again it is of no real consequence to me as it is unlikely that I will ever own one.
It`s just that the debate sparked my interest.
This is only my opinion.
I`m not trying to make enemies.
