Well, if you have otherwise bit tragical Olympus E-5, then there isnt much difference between weather sealing and waterproof. That said, its not much usable as a camera.. (quite shame considering amazing durability).
Same goes with Pentax (thats actually even freeze proof, guaranteed). Those are quite good cameras (K-5 II) and usable (thats if you like APS-C).
For Canon, I take everything bellow 1D/s class as not sealed eg. avoid everything you can or pack it into something. Seems older pieces survived bit more than modern ones, friend kinda soaked old 350D and no problem. That wasnt sealed by any chance and it works until today.
I guess that maybe older tech is somehow less prone to care about water and such. My ages old KM-7D survived numerous rains, freezing ones, snow, dust.. still works. And if Im correct, its not supposed to have any kind of sealing (maybe its just tightly put together ).
Or maybe is level of weather survival just pure luck.
