I was reviewing a picture of the BG-E16 in advance of buying a 7D2 and noticed what appeared to be a rubber gasket around the part of the grip that extends into the battery compartment of the 7D2. I haven't seen such a gasket on any previous battery grips, and I've known it to be a strong weakness to a camera's weather sealing if using a grip.
Does this mean we finally have some level of weather sealing guaranteed even with the grip?
Here's the picture I'm referencing of the BG-E16

And here a BG-E11 for the 5D Mark III that definitely does not have the gasket:

Seems pretty exciting to me.
