For the most part I shoot with a Canon 5D Mk II but I recently picked up a 7D as a complimentary and "backup" body. Both bodies are rated as being "moisture and dust" sealed, which translates roughly into "don't worry if you get lightly splashed or lightly rained on". However, someone else with a 7D reallywanted to know just how much punishment it could take; this video review by DigitalRev is the result.

While the test results aren't something I hope to ever see repeated (especially with my7D), I can now better appreciate just how tough this wee beastie is, even under extreme conditions.
Enjoy.
