[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 522138, member: 13248"] Just watched the video and saw that it is just as exposed as the D750. I don't get how Nikon can can call this pro & weather sealed if a drop of water on the ribbon cable can cause damage (unless the manual for it says differently). A lot of people, myself included, tote their bodies around with the lens facing downward, which fully exposes the LCD (and all the ingress points around the LCD) to moisture from above. If I wanted DX, I'd still get the D500, but I would not trust it in even the lightest of rain. I've been shooting the D750 in rainy conditions, albeit only when using a protective rain cover-so far, I've managed to keep the thing dry, but I sure wish I could rely on the camera's sealing and shoot without a cover. I realize I must be in the minority, as I simply never run across anyone mentioning this flaw on the D750 & I would imagine nobody will bring it up with the D500 either. [/QUOTE]
