![]() The polarizer I had though took a beating and I could hear sand in it between the rings for weeks after. When I got to the hotel, I rinsed it under the tap for a minute or so to clean it. I used a Pentax K-7 in a shoot during a sand-storm and it worked perfectly. ![]() To be sure about your equipment's resistance you have to try it and even there, bring a backup. I have no experience with a 7D under rain. Actually, falling snow rarely is a problem even for non-weather-sealed camera as long as you wipe it off before you go into an environment where it would melt. The 7D I used was subjected to snow without any problems. Unfortunately, you have to try to find out. The 7D falls among those cameras with vaguely specified resistance. For example, some Nikon manuals say 'resistant to dust and casual humidity'. I also feel lawyers got involved somewhere in the writing of these things. If it said waterproof and dustproof that would be a stronger statement. Water and dust resistance, as specified by Canon, means very little. Unfortunately, very few camera models specify the amount of resistance as anything measurable.
