Sigma SD1
£5,500
With the Foveon X3 sensor, the Sigma SD1 offers 46 million pixels in a weather sealed body.
The removable dust protector is a boon. Although the top ISO of 6400, may feel a little restrictive to some.
Best professional DSLR for bad weather
Canon EOS 1D Mark IV
£3,740
A little long in the tooth now, but still a top choice for professional photographers.
The 16.1MP sensor may seem tame compared to the behemoth sizes currently around but the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV offers 10fps and 45-point AF. Ideal for sports and wildlife shooters.
