A few years back I had a friend who dropped a $4,000 Kodak DSLR (built byKodak on a Nikon body) from his tripod to the side walk. There was a corner dent and another scratch, but the camera worked. We were amazed. My girl friend dropped her monopod mounted Nikon in a canyon and bounced it off a couple of rocks and it still works. They can take a licking and keep on ticking.

Serious rocks... camera bouncing. :)

I lost my D70 from a 30-foot roll down a steep slope into a rock :-(
