Why is Sony unwillingly to weather seal there high end “A” series cameras I’ve read multiple articles on these cameras and yet they have not stepped up to the plate. They don’t meet the levels that Nikon, Canon, Pentax, have instituted for dampness, dust and other things that can impact a camera, for the amount of money they sell the A9 for you would think this would be taken care of?
I have Sony A7RIII and A7III and like the A9 they are weatherproof enough for pros like myself. They are being used by pro wildlife and sports shooting in severe conditions with no issues (rain, blowing snow, sand, outdoors at the recent Winter Olympics etc.) . Top Wildlife shooter Luke Massey explains his change from Canon DSLR to fullframe Sony A7S and then Sony A9.
I don't run a hose over my cameras, but I have had them trekking for three weeks in the daily rain across the Scottish Highlands and Hebrides Islands with no issues. And have had them in blowing sand and blowing snowstorms, with no issues.
