I keep hearing that same \"dust and moisture\", \"weather resistant\" speak about the A7II, just like I did for the original A7 and A7R. Those cameras have no (as in zero) internal seals normally found in dust and moisture resistant cameras. Just take a look at the LensRental teardown of thre A7R. You can take a detailed look for yourself:
I think that\'s the confusion right? Sony say they are \"environmentally sealed\" yet as Roger shows there are no actual seals. The last link in fact describes an experience where the guy damaged his camera getting it wet .. ie he seems to be doing the opposite than spreading false info EDIT .. I guess you\'re commenting on the 4 links within his blog showing reviews that list the camera as\"weather sealed/proof\"
