Sure, I run my K5 under the tap and scrub it with a soft bristle toothbrush! I don't use any soap though! Also, be sure that all your doors and weather seal covers are closed and sealed properly before hand. Also be sure that the hotshoe cover is in securely!

You can't be in the water! It's weather sealed, not waterproof.

No the Canon 60D is not as weather sealed as the Pentax K5. The Canon 1D & 1Ds series might be though! However, I haven't seen a full diagram of the Canon L series lenses to how well sealed they are. Therefore, I wouldn't suggest you attempt this test without speaking to Canon about the sealing on their bodies and lenses!

Hey Imsno0zin, the Pentax 6x7 was quite the beast! I've shot with the 645N and it was sweet! I just recently had the opportunity to shoot with the 645Digital. It's so amazing. The detail & dynamic range just blows me away!!!! It could very well be my next purchase!!!

Hey, what's your problem? Did anyone say that the NEX was a piece of shit? No, you were the first to trash talk. Maybe you feel the need to trash other brands to make you feel better about your purchase, I'm not sure. However, you need to do your homework before you start shooting your mouth off about things you know nothing about. You're making yourself look like an idiot!

The NEX-5 is not even a D-SLR.

I like how no one ever mentions *why* Pentax makes weather sealed cameras. For those wondering, it's due to them wanting to protect the sensors from dust and foreign matter. The "Waterproof" effect is just a side effect of that. They wanted their cameras to operate in all areas, even the middle of the desert if necessary.(Sand+Sensor=BAD)

@Jules7892 You *DO* realize Asahi hasn't owned Pentax in over a decade, correct?

[HellaciousD]

@Webofscience Nowhere does it say the XXD series cameras are weather sealed(At least not officially). Know why? They're not. Just saying, don't trust the places that say it's weather sealed if it's not straight from the company. Although, the XXD series can withstand minimal sprinkles. So long as it stays away from the mounting area of the lens. Should you wish to shoot in the rain with a camera like that, use a plastic bag with a hole cut in it for the lens. Works pretty well for light rain.
