[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 20368, member: 4398"] Same here glad your baby survived without incident. Mind you I would be shocked if it had been damaged by such a gentle bump. I had the misfortune, while out photographing live bands in a nightclub, to put my camera on a table while ferreting about for fresh flash batteries, some drunken !*^$ blunders by wallops the table and DSLR with flash slide off and onto the hard wooden floor. Picked it up turned it on, worked, focus shutter and everything OK, sigh of relief, but no flash (oh bugger) discovered that the impact had opened the battery door on the flash and managed to recover 3 of the 4 NiMh batteries. On fitting a fresh set of batteries it all worked as it should and is still doing so, no visible signs of damage or anything. Even funnier is the fact that I now own a D2x which is built to take that sort of thing, I dropped my Fuji S2 pro, which is slated in some reviews for lack of rugged build LOL. Sorry for rambling, glad your camera is OK [/QUOTE]
