New NEX 7 has a name. What do you want in the 7m?

Hi,

I haven't bought a CSC yet but it's getting very close...... I'm lurking in the Fuji and NEX Forums learning about users' experience with their XE1 and NEX 6&7 cameras.

I'm coming from Pentax DSLRs, which are weather sealed. One thing that really gripes me about both Fuji X series and the NEXs is that such brilliant small cameras - and their premium models - aren't offered with environmental sealing.

Personally I think that all cameras should be WR. They are expensive, precision electronic and optical devices which are adversely affected by both water and dust. Why is there any acceptable case for premium models not to be sealed? I fully acknowledge that it costs a little more, but it's a price worth paying.

So, whatever, other features existing owners argue for in this thread - add in one vote for weather resistance......

Cheers, Rod McD
