Sony never have listed any of the A7 series (including the new A7II) as being \"weather-proof\" or \"dust-moisture resistant\" on their website. Some of their marketing people have been said to have made those claims though. So, Sony have had their part in this misconception.
Sony is still at fault directly and do in fact claim \"dust and moisture resistance\" even today on their own website.
\"Dust and moisture resistance
Carefree shooting in tough environments is yours thanks to comprehensive dust and moisture resistance measures that enhance reliability by helping to prevent water and dust from entering the body. These measures include sealing around the buttons and dials, as well as a protective double-layered structure that tightly interlocks panels and components.\"
I guess the Sony store did not get the memo to remove the inaccurate info that has been circulating since this cameras introduction. If this had been Apple, you can bet there would already have been a class-action lawsuit over this.
Edit: just as posted above me.
The OP should bring this to Sony\'s attention in his dealings with them as they really should fix his camera for free based on the above advertising from their own store.
