[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 238717, member: 13248"] I would bet money the D610 is identically sealed as the D600. Since Nikon is so ineptly vague when it comes to weather sealing of anything, who knows. One can find the internal gasket schematics for all the cameras online, but that won't positively show how well any body does in terms of weather resistance. From all of my research concerning the D800, D7100 & D600, they are not sealed to a level comparable to others well known for their weather resistance (Oly & Pentax). I've run across a number of posts from people that have had lots of dirt/dust ingress, etc. I still shoot in the rain & dusty environments, but not without a blower on hand along with a rain sleeve. The whole "weather sealing" thing gets thrown around rather loosely these days. Look at the new(er) Sony A7 series-the ones with an unsealed memory card door which are being touted as fully weather sealed. [/QUOTE]
