does the box protect the camera from rain? does rain get in?

I haven't had any water issues as all and mine have been up fall through early spring

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.

My husband has two of these cameras with these boxes and after a year of use is very happy with them. No leaks!

I don't know since I have owned it, it hasn't rained yet. It has rained a little and I haven't noticed that the rain did anything to the camera. So I think it does help.

The box does add protection from the elements but it is not waterproof. The shutter, flash and detection areas are cut outs so the camera is exposed. Rain could get into the box. Along with a cable lock, it is a nice set up for security.

From the look of the camera body, I thought it would withstand blowing rain OK. I was wrong. Mine is really not splashproof. Condensation would form on the inside of the plastic bubble after a good rain. I had to mount it under the eave. I will try it there and see. I do like the camera.

The camera is extremely well built and some of the RX10 covers on some of the ports will repel moisture but the lens itself because it is a zoom lens is susceptible to dust and moisture contamination. Rain, moisture and dust should be avoided if you wish to have a full functioning camera. Sony was using weather resistant as marketing hype to suggest better quality constructed camera which is true but it is definitely not weather proof in any way whatsoever.

Water/weather resistant out of the box bit comes with a case that is water proof to 60m. It allows full control of the camera. Come with 4 gb micro sd card.

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

It will cover just enough of the camera from the rain. Therefore, it should not affect the camera's viewfinder in any way. Just make sure it's on the proper way.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

The camera is somewhat weather-proof but not exactly waterproof. It can withstand getting a bit wet in the rain or some splashes in a kayak but if it were submerged in the water, it will almost certainly get ruined.

Hi, As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything in the paperwork stating it is waterproof. The camera comes with a waterproof case that has buttons for operation, and the remote is definitely water resistant if not waterproof, it would not be effected by rain but I am not sure if it is submersible.

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

It does not come with a rain cover but is water resistant/ proof. It does come with a small waterproof bag that you can put put your electronics in, or whatever, just to make sure they stay dry. I have ridden in the rain with mine and everything stayed dry.

The case is similar to a wetsuit material. Because the flap is not watertight it would only help if you might get a little rained on. The bag, I don't really use. I keep the camera in a camera backpack in the case.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

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