Is the D800 weather sealed?

ElJamoquio · 04-04-2012, 05:45 PM

Forgive my ignorance, but in my quick review of NIkon's website I can't find anything that says the D800 is weathersealed, so I assume it is not.

Can someone confirm?

My understanding is that all their full frame professional cameras are weathersealed.

"The Nikon D800 has a solid body with a magnesium alloy core and is weather sealed." - From a review site.

Ah, great. Thanks. Do you (or anyone) happen to know what the 'WR'-type code is on the lenses, if anything, that designates weather-sealed-ness?

Don't see any determining labeling but..

Nikon D800E vs Pentax 645D Look at the post by Josh-H, that does not bode well for any owners of D800 that want to risk their cameras in harsh weather.
