Yes, my E-5 is weather resistant and my E-M1 is splash resistant. So are their lenses.
I have more problems dealing with rain than my cameras and lenses do. If I'm dressed for the weather, rain won't stop me from taking photos with either of these cameras.
But, not everyone has a weather-resistant or waterproof camera and so there are other solutions: Op/Tech rainsleeves is one solution, I'm sure there are others.

I don't go anywhere with out them. They work very well. I can normally get 2 to 3 uses from each one.

They weigh next to nothing and take up very little room. There are other manufactures but most more expensive and really not any better.

YES!!!!
I have one as well - I used it once - works good.
However. I always keep at least 4 plastic bags (the ones from the grocery store) in my jacket pockets and my camera pack. In a "pinch" I have cut the corner out of it to fit snuggly over the front of the lens - the lens shade part - and tie a knot to secure the Large opening. Make sure that the thin bag does not have holes or rips in it. In this manner you can operate the camera through the bag. The view finder can be affixed through a small hole, and held in place with the slide on eye cushion of the viewfinder.
And too a hand full of rubber bands in you camera bag can cure a lot of fastening problems.
Works for me... It took longer to explain this then to DO IT.

I stay inland from the beach, to avoid the sand, and water, and use a telephoto lens to get closer images of of beach subjects. In the rain, I have my girlfriend hold an umbrella over me, and the camera, or I stand under a roof awning, or such. It is: quick, cheap, easy, and effective.

Then how would you get shots like this? Taken in the rain and on the beach.

Do not forget that when you have no other alternative, go to a Super Market to the fruits and vegetables section and pick up a plastic bag. They work great in the rain in Oregon and Washington.

There are several "rain-coat" covers for cameras. There are some for cameras with long lens and with short lens. They cover the lens and body by starting above the rig, then slipping down over it. Adorama and B&H both offer them. As far as covering the operator, NOT. :lol: :lol: :lol:
