If you use tropicalized lenses and cameras then yes, you can handle those conditions.

Fuji's has one of the best weather-sealing (dust & rain) in the mirrorless segment. No idea about the lens he used, but my X-Pro2 survived (rain & snow) storms, even with a non-tropicalized lens.

I guess sandstorms must be harder for the camera?

I guess it too, it would be nice to have more info about what happened.
