This is very true!

None of your cameras is weather sealed


My 'next' SLR is going to be weather sealed, whatever that means in
practice!

The D300S has a degree of weather sealing, but not as complete
as its FF brethren, the D700, D800, D3(x), and D4.


Look at the Pentax K30, it's weather and dust sealed, and would be a
step up from your mid-level D5000. As you seem to be using the lower end
plastic mount lenses, you aren't getting any real cachet of metal mount
Nikkor glass. And please don't drop som many lenses...
