C100: C100: Weather Sealed?

I'm curious how weather sealed it isn't...as in can you shoot with it in a light mist? a drizzle? light snow flurries? a steamy room?
How are you C100 shooters getting by in other than ideal weather?
 
I shot two days at a local renaissance faire loaded with kicked up dust everywhere and had no issues. Now if you think weather sealing is proofing you from a monsoon, there aren't many cameras that are that sealed.

If this guy can get this camera this dirty, I suspect the C100 is just as capable:

Not to mention that a few months ago there was a hardware update to fix something so it is even better.
 
I used a C100 outside for a couple of hours while it was dripping from a porch I was shooting underneath. The camera was wet. At a certain point, I got an error and the camera said that it could no longer communicate with the lens. I tried different lenses and got the same error. I let the camera dry for an hour and the error went away. I'm assuming that a circuit got shorted out in the camera.

So, no, it's not weather sealed.

The C300 is better sealed than the C100 is.
 
It would be cool if some enterprising company would develop new... bodies, for various non-weather sealed cameras. Bodies that looked exactly the same, or as close as possible, but were weather sealed.
