Weat seal D7000 vs Nikon Pentax K-5?
Pentax K-5 ensures that features 77 time stamps on your body and provides a detailed drawing in this regard, while It simply says that nikon d7000 has a great level of protection against the weather. I saw some videos on youtube K-5 where he immersed himself in the camera or subject to the shower without no harmful effect. I just saw a video of the D7000, which was subjected to splashing a wave during filming on the board of a yacht. Sincerely videos really K-5 creates the effect of "wow, this camera is really waterproof!" but I can not say for D7000. My question is, though not officially released by Nikon, you know you how many time stamps are available in the body of the D7000? Also, do you think that D7000 can be as waterproof as k-5 to the extent that will keep after the same tests of K-5 was subjected to in the videos available on YouTube? PS. Please do not wander, for example, claiming that the lens has to be sealed as well or weat etc. My question refers only to the body.
If the time stamp D7000 had as much or more than its competitors, Nikon would not hesitate to say that it is advertising. Simply saying that the D7000 is weathersealed weatherseals but does not say how many, Nikon makes it look better than the competitor Canon (Which is not weathersealed), but apparently prevents silly compared to the Pentax K-5. I would bet that the Nikon has less than 77 weatherseals. In an interview shortly after weathersealed first camera Pentax, the K10D, was released in 2006, an engineer from Pentax, said it was designed for a "rain" (Japanese translation) during any period of time, and to be as weatherproof as the Nikon digital SLRs from Canon and more expensive. Since then, Pentax has slightly improved the tightness (up to 76 stamps, I think). Today, I have no one to talk about Pentax dying from sealing properly. It is not true of Nikon and Canon, although to be fair there are of course many more Nikon and Canon use compared to Pentax. If I may digress * after * giving you a straight answer: You may also want to consider price, size and weight of lenses weathersealed. For Nikon, only more expensive, larger and heavier lenses are weathersealed. Pentax lenses more expensive (the line DA *) are, of course weathersealed, but are smaller and lighter than their Nikon equivalent. More importantly for most users in wet weather, Pentax also has moderately priced lenses weathersealed (line WR), which are also very lightweight and compact. You may want to think about what you prefer to walk around kit all day. Good luck and enjoy! Greg
