[QUOTE="Silver, post: 148180, member: 14167"] I guess the good thing to come out of this is I posted a review with B&H under the D800 urging people to BUY THE 3 YEAR INSURANCE WITH A PURCHASE LIKE THIS. The only reason I didn't is because i (wrongly) assumed that since this was a PRO camera body with a MAGNESIUM frame that I was fairly safe, short of dropping off a cliff, etc. I've owned an F4 and F100 and they both suffered a couple drops and a 20mm Nikkor fell 5 ft. onto asphalt and it didn't phase it (broke the UV filter). I know, it sounds like I'm always dropping stuff, but these incidents were only isolated within like 30 years of field use. Learned my lesson now. Only problem is, what do I do now? I only have fire insurance on my homeowners (I live in New Jersey--- home of highest insurance rates in the USA). [/QUOTE]
