I understand that the way seals work on parts that have to move and can be disconnected (lens) is to prevent water from entering up to a certain pressure. I assume the different seals working in each location of the camera would have different tolerances to pressure, and therefore any submerging test wouldn't tell much because of the weakest link...
...but weather conditions don't really put the pressure that something like a faucet would, so they all should perform just as well under weather conditions
Originally posted by DragonLord There is something to note about this: the K-7 and K-5 have 77 seals, while the EOS-1D X has 76 seals—yet the K-7 and K-5 have fewer control points than any EOS-1 series camera. The D-BG4 battery grip adds an additional 43 seals.
Can this mean that PENTAX weather sealing is better than even a Canon EOS-1 series camera?

I can't imagine "more seals" on cameras that should be fully sealed would be better, unless they are backups. Edit* I do see the bit now about the control points - but assuming control points are covered for, the only things left are construction seams.
