I'd interpret that to mean repairs would exceed replacement cost. Why? Here's a D7000 that displays the complexity of these cameras. Replacing a bent frame sounds simple until one ponders the reality of such an endeavor. I don't think any competent tech would simply transfer all the components from a damaged unit to a new frame without testing each component and its interaction with other components stage by stage. I'd certainly hope not.      [ATTACH]42348[/ATTACH][ATTACH]42349[/ATTACH][ATTACH]42350[/ATTACH][ATTACH]42351[/ATTACH][ATTACH]42352[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
