That's true...you don't. But that's not as bad as intentionally dumping hot chocolate and applesauce on one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hjBv9wYOEE&feature=user
Yeah, I laughed at that one, but did you see the one where he dropped a cell phone, and then the D3 from about one story onto a tiled sidewalk?!
I am disgusted by this idiot. I am all for believing that my equipment are tools, but to do this intentionally with a $5000 camera and an $1800 lens. You are a spoiled jerk.
Spoiled for doing it what that kit, nevermind the several other D2x's and h's he has...he's a 20 year old student! Lots of $$, less sense.
That is very cool, the cutaway thing I mean. Being able to see the light path that the secondary mirror creates, the way that some light goes through the main mirror and is then deflected down, that's really cool.
He's a college student, every college student I know can barely afford to eat and he destroys a really exensive camera.
oh no, as the 'drop test' said at the end...'it survived!' (though he didn't show the camera before or after he dropped it - who knows, it could have been an 80's Pentax!)
