Böse M8 in greenland &^%%(

After just 5 days in greenland, whe had a pretty heavy storm with lots of rain. For safety I put the M8 inside my backpack, rather than in the camera case outside. When back in camp the M8 was dead ^%#^& and could not be revived the rest of the 3 week trip. The screen showed a lot of moist in the camera.

So I have to send it back to Leica for repairs, it is 8 months old so still guarentee. Will they implement more decent weather sealing, that fit a 4K camera, or can I better dump the M8 if I make these kind of trips?

Worst of all I had to look 2 weeks and the dirty grin of a 400D+kitlens owner who even took pictures during the storm And even worse, the two weeks after that were the best weather since a long time in greenland...

Luckely I was clever enough to also pack an M6 and some film, intended for use when the 3 (I bought 2 brand new ones I thus never came to use) batteries would not last the trip...
