Again, I think they are fine for general use and including light rain (that I prefer to get out of or use a plastic bag over the camera and lens) but it just confuses things when people keep referring to Sony cameras as being weather sealed.
SOME dust and moisture protection is about the most I would take ANY camera to have.
You're braver than I. I start sweating if any rain lands on my Sony. Having disassembled one of these I know they have more holes than Swiss cheese which tend to open directly above critical components.
I bought a weatherproof peak design camera cover for use in inclement weather, but I still get nervous.
I agree. With the A7rII/A7II I caught in the rain few times with no cover and I placed the bodies under my T Shirt to minimize the moisture. Still afterwards there was some fogging in the view finders so I left the electronics off for a day in a air conditioned room to fully dry internally. Truth is the cameras may have been fine but if there was moisture within the electronics turned on may have worsened the problem. I then always carried a plastic bag with me just in case.
