>Don't weatherproof cameras have IP ratings like phones?
Mostly (might be a few exceptions) they don't. Just like a rain jacket, there is an obvious big hole in there - the lens mount. Makes it kinda hard to state an IP rating...
Even when lenses have rubber grommets or seals, these don't last forever. Working as a PJ, most of the seals on my L lenses would need replacing every year or so (of course, that was 8+ hours a day usage with lot of "pictures first, equipment second" mentality back in the days - even though we used raincovers and such for sports, sometimes it just wasn't practical).
Still, just for landscape or climbing photos, I'd say any kind of weather resistance is a big plus for me.
