The Nikon 850 and to some extent the Sony A7rii are the new darlings of digital cameras. In this test however, they show some weakness with respect to moisture ingress whereas Canon and Olympus pass it:

I'm surprised by the Nikon result, but not the others.

Me too. And of all places the hot shoe jack? Hopefully they remedy that now that they know. Should not be hard.

I have taken my (Canon) cameras into rain and shot pictures for hours and hours with no damage. A pro camera needs to be immune to such things.
