Is this camera water proof, or at least, water resistant?

It is "water resistant" when used with a water resistant lens. Older lens probably won't give much protection. I think if it a a safeguard if I get caught in the rain.

Yes, it is weather sealed/water resistant. Like C. Finchum said, you do need to pair it with weather sealed lenses in order for this to still be true. Pentax makes a variety of weather sealed and non weather sealed lenses.

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

I've put the truck through the car wash and rain with the camera on the hitch mount. So far, so good. I vaguely remember the manufacturer stating that it's water resistant. Hope this helps.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

I don't know, but I wouldn't buy the camera in the first place. It claims to be waterproof, but within the first 30 seconds in the water there was water inside the screen and lens and the camera was dead.

No the camera is not weather proof. It can be mounted outside however would have to be protected from moisture.

Loralai - no, it is not waterproof. I am quite happy with the camera, however.

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rain or snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

The camera is not weather proof. However, if you can protect it from driving rain through judicious placement such as on a covered porch or under protected eaves, it will do just fine. I have five Foscam cameras and two have been outside for two years. They work flawlessly. They have endured extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100 degrees as well as high humidity in the form of fog.

no. This case is not water proof. It is completely exposed all around. There is a hole for the camera. I would not recommend taking this case underwater.

Hello! I just purchased this cameria for my husband's birthday in March 2014. We have not used it for water purposes yet. However, reading the reviews, it seems to be a decent camera for this purpose.

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything in the paperwork stating it is waterproof. The camera comes with a waterproof case that has buttons for operation, and the remote is definitely water resistant if not waterproof, it would not be effected by rain but I am not sure if it is submersible.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.
