But weather sealing doesn't have a specific measurement a judge could measure against so I dont see how under UK law you could have a case. If the camera was waterproof then you would have a case.

Its like stainless steel, it still stains eventually it just stains less. Weather resistant could mean it resists weather but it doesnt say how long it resists weather either, its just marketing spiel.

Consumer law is now the same across the EU iirc.

I think the problem here is just what exactly is weather resistant? Its not the same as waterproof is it? Just also what kind of weather is the camera resistant to? In your copy and paste above it says cold and dust but not how long in rain. After three days shooting in rain last year my mki eventually developed condensation behind the lcd screen and took a good three days to dry out. I would say three days of use in the rain was extreme but just how long should a weather resistant body be resistant!

One of my mki k-5 developed a fault with the shutterbutton in that the half press wouldnt focus until eventually it gave up altogether. I had this repaired under warrsnty, now the same issue is happening with my mkii. Is this a common issue or have I just been unlucky??..

Just give me a K-5II with Canon/Nikon spec af, at least 24 af points, 24MP sensor with the same ISO performance as the K-5 and a 100-400mm WR lens.

I would rather like a articulated rear screen but it's not essential.

Personally I have no problem with the card door.
Plus a faster processor and a dual sdcard slots...

Since owning the k-01 i take it with me everywhere. Wth the 35mm 2.4 its an awesome combination. Why take out the big stuff when you have that kind of quality in a smaller form

I have the plain k version and they work surprisingly well on a 50mm.
