Is the camera still weather sealed with this grip installed?

It is described as "dust and splash resistant". It does not affect the weather sealing of the camera.

I believe the attachment provides enough seal compared to having the original rubber seal. I also have to qualify that I am saying without putting it through any rigorous test

Yes, the camera is still weather sealed. The grip is sealed, too! You can use the combo in any weather condition.

Yes...the EM-1 is still weather sealed as long as you attach it per instructions.

Yes it is. I bought it with the K-30, specifically because it was weather sealed. I have not used the lens or the camera yet in harsh conditions. My evaluation is based on just the useability of the lens, and the quality of pictures I have gotten so far.

I have had it for a bit more than a year now. The camera works great still. However, it wasnt all that great in the winter in Northern NY. This is mostly due to the construction of the rear of my car. There is a nice shelf below the licence plate for the snow to pile up on. Anytime more than 6" fell, the camera would become immersed in snow. After removing the snow, the camera didnt have a good picture for 30 mins or so. The finish hasnt seemed to fade anywhere except where I snugged up on the bolts. If you never move the bolts, you wouldnt notice it.

This lens is not weather sealed. It does use a Thermally Stable Composite material for durability and temperature stability. And it feels great.

I have one installed on an open-air porch area, where the camera is protected from rain by an overhang. It seems fine there. It's worked down into single-digit cold this winter.

Looks very well built, but I hear it is not weather sealed. Does not matter to me, because I subject none of my expensive equipment to bad weather.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.

Kit lens is not weather sealed though under the Product Features Amazon bills the kit like so: Full weather sealing for worry-free use in any weather condition;

The camera itself is or appears to me to be fully waterproof in itself and then the case adds further protection but in any sort of heavy or wind driven rain the camera will get wet. That cannot be avoided but was anticipated in the camera design. The main purpose of the box is really to protect the camera from theft.

I do not recommend leaving the camera in the rain or near water-prone areas without protection (the enclosure is not waterproof). My camera is outdoors, but it is under a roof. You can put the camera into a CLEAR plastic container or inside a PVC pipe to protect it.

I haven't installed it yet, but it has a film over "sticky" part, so you can remove it,(from the camera) but, putting it back on may not last, once adhesive is compromised. I bought a case for the camera which solves 2 issues: protection, and grip. Hope that helps.

Looking at the camera, the battery/memory card compartment is not sealed with any kind of gasket. The lens looks the same as my Canon which is not water tight. My answer is no.

No. It is "dust and splash resistant". The seals on the underside where the grip attaches must be in place when the grip is not installed and the hot shoe shields must be in place when the small flash is not installed to maintain integrity.The OM-D can survive exposure to rain, snow, and dust but not immersion.Regards, Jim

Yes, the Handle is completely waterproof and if your camera is waterproof, your ok!

Absolutely, I have had the camera in the sun, rain, hail on the side of the house for over a year, and no problems.

Sorry, I can't answer that question because the camera that I purchased was installed in South Florida. I can tell you that there does not appear to be any sort of weatherproof housing so it's very susceptible to the elements... hot/cold/wet/dry. The unit that I purchased didn't last a month before failed. If it's indoors it might last a longer. Good luck
