is the 300d a fragile camera? does it survive a short fall or a light rain?

I won't be testing the fragility. Knock on oak!
Rain~well we have a bit of that here in Oregon. I'm very careful with my camera and use an umbrella, plastic bag and even a tarp depending on what the situation is. I don't get it wet. I have seen a little Olympus that can get wet. It looks pretty cool but I don't know the model.
