I have to agree. Weather sealed ≠ waterproof.Looks to me that the Pelican cases hit the water, not a camera over the shoulder. I don't care how "weather sealed" your camera is, it most likely wouldn't survive a full dunk in the river.
Aside the lack of a removable back, the Pentax does look like a pretty decent system. The film generation medium format N's were definitely very fine systems. I wonder how many Pentax users of the past have sold off all of their MF gear and switched systems by now? There's a lot of good glass out there somewhere.
Not if you just want a MF DSLR I suppose. If you want to be able to use the back on other types of cameras such as technicals or LF then obviously it is a restriction. It's certainly true that's it's less of a factor these days given the significant reduction of interchangeable system choice today. You might argue also that back performance and resolution upgrades can be tackled without having to buy a whole new camera body if the back is removable.I have to agree. Weather sealed ≠ waterproof.
The lack of a removable back is no that big a deal anymore.
