[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 219028, member: 13076"] Very sorry to hear about that, Glenn. Here in the USA homeowner's insurance will cover the contents of the home such as cameras even if the damage occurred outside the home. Nothing like that in Japan? I know there isn't really anything that can be offered by way of advice since it was an accident and I am sure you treat your equipment like a pro, but I never have my D800 away from the camera bag without being attached to the black rapid strap, and if I change lenses I put the camera only on the camera bag. So the magnesium frames on those cameras can take hits but of course the internals of the camera are not shockproof. Yes the D4 is made to be more resistant to damage related to shock, but personally I couldn't go anywhere but to another D800E, or wait for a D4s to come out with 24 MP sensor :). Well at least with the D7000 you can still take some great photos during this convalescence period. I remember when the battery door on my D7000 broke on one of the mounts and I was pretty upset so I frankly couldn't imagine (nor would try) how I would feel if my D800 was totaled. [/QUOTE]
