Give me a plastic camera any day

This is a scary video especially when he goes at the lens and rear LCD with
a knife!

....and then there is the follow-up. It seems Canon charges to evaluate damage.

Ha! I smashed my D70 in a long tumble into a rock cracking the corner
open and the shutter still worked but it didn't take pictures... I sent
it in for repair and they first said it could be fixed, but were
unable... sent it back no charge... I sold the LCD to someone who had
cracked theirs... I've since worn out a D200 & D700 and the D200 a
second time... partly works...

You're one of the few who are about as rough on equipment as I. If one
actually uses the camera, these things will happen. I tend to concentrate on
the shot and sometimes forget that equipment is fragile. I failed to mention
that in a jetty climbing incident I put a few dents in my D200. Fortunately
that can be fixed. Part of my reason for choosing Nikon is that I live a
short distance from their repair facility. They know me well there.
