[QUOTE="buckre, post: 113875, member: 7530"] Hello all, I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me could give me some advice on my camera. I let my dad borrow my D7000 while he was on vacation and he accidentally dropped it. It landed lens first and broke it (18-70), or at least jammed it so that it doesn't function very smoothly. I haven't seen the camera yet and the only visible damage seems to be a scuff mark on the body. He would like to buy me another one and keep the one he dropped, partly because he has been toying with buying the same camera for over a year. I feel a little guilty allowing him to do so since the camera itself seems to be working okay. My question is whether there could be some internal damage we are not yet aware of, or whether it would basically work or not work. If it is taking pictures which appear to be focused and the same image quality is there anything I should be concerned about, or should I tell him not to worry about it? We were considering sending it in to Nikon to have them take a look at it, but I don't want to go through the trouble if there isn't anything to worry about. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
