How do Canon, Nikon, and Sony compare in weather resistance?

Well that's great, since my D850 survived shooting Monarch Butterflies in the rain last week.

Am I wrong or did the Canon seem to have the best results? It was a water resistance test not an overall rating test. The Nikon had water inside the eyepiece for godsake.

Even with my 1 DX which is supposed to have tremendous water sealing, I put rain gear on it at the first hint of rain. I'm not going to take any chances.

I agree. I ama Pentax shooter, have several of their WR lenses. Have seen their videos about how water and dust resistant their lenses are. But when the weather turns bad, I slip a condom on my camera and lens. Why take chances?

I wish they had included the Pentax K-1.
Did you see the video where the guy packed mud all over the K-1 then hosed it off and started shooting while it was still dripping?
