Question: A few days back, I went for a riverside shoot with my Nikon D5300. Unfortunately, moderate rain soon started. I noticed a few photographers, probably with professional grade cameras, were daring enough to shoot the landscape in such weather. The scenic beauty around at that moment was mesmerizing, but I missed capturing any shots, fearing that a single droplet of water would burn out my DSLR. Before trying out taking pictures in rainy condition with my Nikon D5300, I need to know how weather-proof it is. Any suggestions/authentic information is appreciated.

Answer: 
Not sure if it is or not but I took my D5300 up Snowdon while it was raining and hailing, camera got drenched but it is still in good condition

Above, you see frost on my camera. It is okay to use your camera in moderate rain and just dry off the camera well before the next use.
