As a biologist working in Guam (wet and humid most days), I almost always purchase gear with weatherproofing. If I'm on the water, I have waterproof gear bags.
Bonjour Émilie, j'ai fait de la photo de ville hier avec mon TG-7, de nuit et sous la pluie, et j'ai raté plusieurs photos car je ne me suis pas aperçue qu'il y a avait des gouttes d'eau sur l'objectif !! Maintenant je l'essuierai régulièrement 😃
None of the cameras I own list an IP rating in their specs, except my Olympus TG-6, which, combining IPx8 and IP6x in the specs is IP68. I tried to find an IP rating for the OM System OM1 Mk2 and turned up nothing (It's well hidden, if there). My Lumix cameras, likewise, do not list an IP rating in their specs, only that they are water and dust resistant.
Most older weatherproof cameras are actually about IP-11 or maybe IP12. And also probably the most modern weatherproof cameras too. That's why they don't give IP ratings.
I just recheck and if you go on OM SYSTEM website and click on the OM 1 Mark II, in the section: ‘AN OUTDOOR CAMERA AS TOUGH AS YOU ARE’, they gave you the IP rating of the camera
What lovely snow! We just got some here in Boston. I took my first "snow photos" of the year yesterday. Your point about the camera you don't use is well taken. My camera is "weather sealed" (whatever Nikon means by that), but my lenses are not. I decided that my gear is merely a tool, to be used any place I want to make a photo. I bring it to the beach, in rain or snow, anything as long as I can afford to repair or replace it. I try to choose e.g. my 80-200 internally focussing lens that won't "inhale" air instead of my 18-200 telescoping zoom, but ultimately my photo gear is ready to serve. I sure wish my camera system had the weather proofing of OM System, but pure stubbornness fills the gap. 😀 🏔🏖🏕
Joyeux Noël Emily, thanks for all the great tips and tricks which allows me to learn and enjoy my OM 5 .
Thank you so much. Joyeux Noël to you too :)
Merci pour ces précisions sur les différents niveaux d'étanchéité 🥂🥂

Ah oui! Même si l’appareil est excellent dans l’eau, je n doit quand même essuyer les gouttes d’eau sous la pluie.
Reminded me to look up the ratings table itself…interesting. Thank you!
@@gordon3988 glad it was helpful
the Om-system camera is the Labrador among camera brands. A Labrador dog is also not averse to water, this also applies to Om-system camera’s ❤️👍👏👏😇
Ahaha :) True that!
Thanks for explaining the two numbers in IP rating. Until now, I guessed that IP 50 is better than IP 49. Now I know!
Glad it is helpful!
Way different 😂
Thanks for this information. Really good to know.
You are welcome!
@ Why do you suppose Nikon, Canon, Sony and others don’t use this rating on their equipment? Seems like a good selling point.
Great points👍👍I do wonder if the manufacturers say if the IP rating is relying on port covers.
Apologies I spelt your name wrongly.
Merci Emilie, pour moi ton indice d'ip (indice de popularité) est au maxi 😂
Ahah merci bien Denis :)

Comment te connaître pour des renseignements ?
@@joneskokou7807 Vous pouvez me contacter sur mon site web: emilietalpin.com
How do I find what the IP rating is for my camera?
If you go to the specification of the camera you should find it there.
Some cameras, like mine, don't have any IP rating. This will tell you something too.
Also consider how well sealed your lens is.
@@j_taylor Yes camera and lenses and flash if you do macro photography.

Ah yes we got even more snow last night. It finally feels like winter here. Enjoy the snow in Boston :)
