Here is what Sony says about A99 weather sealing

I have taken the A77 with the Sony 16-50mm f2.8 out in the full rain. (Not on purpose, but I was walking around a lake with no umbrella and there was no short cut back to the car). I had it hanging over my shoulder and when I came to the car the water was dripping from the cameras back screen. It was literally soaked. No problem whatsoever.

I would not recommend to do this on purpose but on the other hand if it happens I am not over-worried either.
