If your photography takes you outside into everything that Mother Nature can throw at you, you need a camera that can stand up to that. Mirrorless cameras for a long time were never as durable or as rugged as DSLRs.
Weather sealing is something that only used to be found on the flagship models of cameras. Oh, how times have changed. You can now find cameras in all price brackets that aren't afraid to get a little wet and sealed well against dust and dirt.
There has been a lot of talk about cameras when they get too hot in 2020. Did you know that it's not just the heat you need to worry about, though? We're just a short time away from blistering cold temperatures.
Many photographers shy away from shooting out in conditions that are less than favorable. This is a real shame because capturing images in the rain or snow can make for much more dynamic pictures. However, having said this, you need to make sure your gear is tough enough for the conditions.
If you're an adventurous photographer, you probably like the idea of getting out into the wild when the weather takes a turn for the worse. This is a great thing, simply because most of us earth-dwellers tend to like staying dry and warm, and because of this, most photographers miss out on epic scenes that can only be created when the sky opens up.
We recently published a great how-to guide in regards to shooting in the rain and inclement weather, and how you can create some gorgeous images while not worrying about Mother Nature. One thing we did stress though is that you need to make sure you have weather-sealed cameras, and weather-sealed lenses to be able to do this.
Anyone who works out in the field will tell you about the importance of having a good, solid weather sealed camera. Weather sealing will allow a photographer to go out into a downpour, a snow storm, or a windy day with dirt and debris flying everywhere.
