Here is what Sony says about A99 weather sealing

As a point of reference water resistance rating on watches is thus (source Wikipedia, so it must be true:)

1. To 30 meters…NOT suitable for showering

2. To 100 meters…suitable for swimming and recreational surfing

3. To 200 meters… suitable for skin diving (not scuba)

By these criteria the a99 is probably water resistant to 30 meters. LOL
