Perhaps a misconception about the OMD Weatherproofing

And this is from the GH3 manual page 9, from a section entitled "Before Use : Care of the Camera"

The dust- and splash-proofing of this unit is not a guarantee of a full protection against the intrusion of dust and water. Please note the following to optimise the dust-proof and splash-proof performance:

– Use a Panasonic interchangeable lens that supports the dust- and splash-proof design. When you are using an interchangeable lens that does not support the dust-splash proofing or are using the mount adaptor (DMW-MA1: optional), the dust-splash proofing of this unit is disabled.

– Use with the built-in flash closed.

– Securely close each door part, socket cap and terminal cover of this unit.

– When you attach/detach the lens or cap, or open/close the door, make sure to prevent sand, dust, and water droplets from entering the interior of this unit.

– If this unit is exposed to water or other liquids, wipe off the liquid with soft dry cloths after use.

To sum up : Panasonic is not less cautious than Olympus concerning the dust and splash proof capabilities of their only splash proof body. Panasonic has one body and two lenses which are wheathesealed, exactly the same number as Olympus (E-M5, 12-50mm zoom and 60mm macro).

You are constantly complaining that about Olympus fanboyism, but with this kind of messages, you are looking for it. You own Panasonic bodies and Panasonic lenses and you are happy with that. We are happy for you too. But why do you need to provoque Olympus owners ? Is it your strategy to start flame wars in order to get a split of the forum against the will of the majority of users ?
