anyone know of a camera that can with stand drops?
"James" wrote in message ... do you know of a camera that can take drops every so often. im looking for somthing quite durable. Any old Nikon. Both my F301 and FM2 have survived 15 foot drops onto concrete with only minor damage. My F90 has only been dropped from 4 foot before but that also was fine. Lens was a bit buggered though. |

My old SLR survived a 1.5-story drop onto pavement -- I picked it up and kept right on shooting. You can smack them into rocks, use them as defensive weapons, etc. -- Jeremy | |

... do you know of a camera that can take drops every so often. im looking for somthing quite durable. In the 70's there was the story of the climber in the Himalayas who dropped his Nikon F over a 10,000 foot cliff, and wrote a letter of complaint to Nikon that when recovered, the camera would function on only one shutter speed. Presumably apocryphal, but underlining the point that old Nikons were expected to take a fair amount of damage. If I dropped my Nikon F2 onto my concrete path, I might worry a bit about the lens, but I would also worry about the concrete. -- Apteryx Treat anger like gold. Spend it wisely or not at all. |

I dropped my D60 2 weeks ago from waist lever. Landed on the canon lens hood
and bounced on the neckstrap bracked. It still works fine. -- www.Digifilm.info "James" wrote in message ... do you know of a camera that can take drops every so often. im looking for somthing quite durable. -- |
