Is the only weather sealed Canon, the 1D? The 5D isn't, while the 50D, 450D and 1000D aren't either.

Are the Nikon 3DX, 3D, 700D and 300D all weather sealed?

So if buying a weatherproof camera isn't in the budget, you can buy weather protection. Here a few alternatives, anyone know of something better?

Here's a much better job more money I know but longer lasting made to order just read the add & send the guy a message to see if he can help you.
I purchased 2 from him last year one for my 300mm f/2.8 the other for my 70-200mm f/2.8 with Canon body 100% service & no I don't know him!
