Canon/Nikon - weather sealing

[Sw1tchFX]

Yeah the D300s is totally weather sealed, I've been caught in the rain before with my D700, didn't bother covering it, and it was fine, and I dropped it part way in a river once, and it was fine.

Sorry to bring up an old topic... but does anyone know if the nikon d5000 is weather resistant or not? I havent found anything on it, but maybe someone here can or knows? Thank-you for taking time in reading...

No, the D5000 has no weather sealing.

The D300s is the least expensive camera in Nikon's current lineup that has any weather sealing.

anything above the $1,500 mark will have weather sealing!!!! body only though, not the lens!!! so D300s will be just fine in rain (i've used mine in rain). Canon 7D same thing!! so on and so forth!
