[QUOTE="AC016, post: 362317, member: 9619"] Never say never my friend. There are quite a few people on this forum who thought the same as you and Murphy's law bit them in the rear end. I believe it was Dave_W who had the shutter on his new D800 crap out on him waaaaaay before it was supposed to. There was another fellow on here who had his DSLR (i believe it was a D800) get caught in torrential rains, which proved it was not water proof. If you are that "serious" into photography and want to eventually make some money through it, you really should get a back-up camera. Pick-up a used D3XXX for a few hundred. You have to have car insurance, right? But if it were up to people to choose, many would not get it because of the expense or the thinking that they will never get into an accident because they are such good drivers. Guess what? The people with no insurance will get into accidents as well, but it will cost them far more then if they had insurance. How much will you sell your D7100 for? On ebay, they are going for around 530 pounds. Invest in a back-up, it will be your insurance. Cameras are nothing more then electronic/mechanical light boxes which can fail like anything else. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
