Cell phones with build in batteries which can't be changed by the owner.
Sure there is.
There’s nothing to infer. They claim certain cameras and lenses are dust- and weather-resistant, and they state that they are not waterproof. All you have to do is act accordingly – minimize exposure to water, and be prepared to accept the risk of damage if you use them in bad weather.
I wondered already that Canon did not yet come up with an updated RF version of Canon's Ef-S 17-55mm. Btw I got that lens a few years after it was released, but I didn't like it: a dust pump with a lot of CA. So, Canon would really need to do a much better job when they considered an RF successor to this lens. Maybe Sigma forces them to do that, but it is definitely a welcome move by Sigma to bring that lens on the market.Great to see Sigma starting with RF-s lenses. The lens might be tempting, if I decide to get a R50 as a lightweight option for hiking and such.
To me, it´s kind of weird that the product images show the lens attached to the R5. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the R7/10/ 50?
Constant F2.8 aperture, 300g and weather sealing sounds great
From the looks of it, the only downside is that it doesn't have a control ring. Since the R50 only has one dial (if I remember correctly) this actually could be an issue for me one day...
Nikon can't, at least on the prosumer camera level, what we had to experience with all digital Nikon DSLRs from the past 15 years. A few drops hitting a button are enough to kill its function.
You already know the answer – it’s not weatherproof, and Canon doesn’t claim that it is. In fact, they state clearly that it isn’t. Rain is 100% humidity.
The camera is manufactured with weather sealing. It’s weather-resistant, not waterproof. There’s no bullshit.
So it can be 0% RH when it's raining? Very rare for there to be rain falling with RH <85%.
This is devolving to pointlessness. I get that you want ILC makers to give an IP rating to their cameras. Most do not and likely will not, ever. They engineer the higher end models to be able to withstand the elements, and they market them as such. They do not claim they are waterproof, and offer no guarantees of such. You can choose to use them in the rain, or not. It really comes down to how much getting the shots you want matters to you. As I said, I have used a succession of 'weather-sealed' bodies and lenses in the rain. I started doing so with the 7D and 24-105/4L, and have done so ever since. That includes use in the tropics and use in hard rain. Incidentally, even though the specs say 0 - 40 °C, I have used my 1D X and R3 in temperatures well below freezing.
don't forget the ports and port extensions for the different lenses to the cost equation. The housing isn't water proof without the
Yep, car manufacturers should stop with the weather resistance claims and give them an IP rating.
