Olympus E3 Splash Proof Test (Video)

Image Even though you own an Olympus E3 or any other weatherproof dSLR it is not advisable to do the following. The less than 1 minute video below is a splash proof test of Olympus recently released E3.

The man poured water over the E3 body which was attached with a 12-60 F2.8-4.0 Zuiko glass. I am not sure if it survives the test but I personally do have confidence on the new Olympus E3’s built.
