I wonder what the polycarbonate frame body cameras would do in a similar drop. "Years ago", I read that the Nikon Titanium cameras did worse in drops than the standard cameras using Brass. The brass absorbed the shock, titanium transferred the shock to the mechanism of the camera. It sound like the D800 design transfers the shock to the weakest point, the back of the frame.The last Nikon that I dropped was a Nikon F Photomic T. It left a nasty ding in the table that I dropped it on.</blockquote>
