D200 mounted with 70-200mm on tripod during the shoot..I decided use the D1X for different angle. Tripod wasn't fully open at the time I was thinking.."its only few shoots..I be right back" So I turned around started shoot about few mins...guess what...a gusted wind blow over..tipped the tripod (yes with the camera+ lens) backward so the LCD side of the camera kissed the gravel...LCD cover cracked, battery pack cover latch was broken, lens focus ring was stuck although there is no visible damages the internal mechanism repair bill was $200 I guess...
2nd wedding with my D3...as I was getting out the car..lost my grip so the camera rolled off my hand with the sigma 24-70mm 2.8...I watched the camera rolling on the ground like no tomorrow...lens broke in half..(repair only around $150). About the camera...let me tell you I wasn't even thinking...I reached in the camera case grabbed another lens and keep shooting didnt even think twice! I shot another 2000 frames that day amof...
so I got a Nikkor 24-70mm after that...and dropped from 8ft...repair cost...$250...this one hurt me the most!!!
