Im asking this because the Casio website says some gshocks are water resistant. My friend (she has one) keeps telling me its water proof, and I keep telling her its not the same thing, but i want to make sure. And she’s been bragging because I got a waterproof camera that goes 10ft underwater, and she says her gshock (200m) goes farther underwater without any harm done, and I dont believe its true because why would someone wear a watch 200m (365 or so feet) underwater, I dont even think anyone has been that deep, well unless theyre proffesional divers or something. Anyways yeah please help ?

Pentax claims that k-5 has 77 weather seals on its body and it provides a detailed drawing in this regard, whereas Nikon simply says D7000 has great level of weather protection.
I watched some videos of k-5 on youtube where the camera was submerged or subject to shower without any ill effect. I only saw one video of D7000 where it was subject to water splash from a wave while filming on the board of a yacht. Honestly the videos of k-5 really creates the effect of “wow, this camera is really water resistant!”, but I cannot say that for D7000.
My question is, although not officially disclosed by Nikon, do you know how many weather seals are available on D7000’s body? Also, do you believe that D7000 can be as water resistant as k-5 to the extent that it will sustain after the same tests k-5 was subject to in the videos available on youtube?
PS. Please do not digress, e.g. by stating that lens needs to be weater sealed as well or etc. My question only concerns body.
