I was at the Toronto Zoo today - after getting my viewfinder on the D800 finally glued (a small piece of body surrounding the screw that holds the viewfinder back assembly in place cracked)... so I had it mounted to the 200-500 - and it was working so beautifully. I went to lean it against a wall on my monopod for a few seconds, and turned around for a moment, and bang! It hit the floor. The 200-500 is fine, all working well - no damage at all. The fall was only about 16" down the surface of a smooth wall.
The D800 is not so good - the cracked viewfinder section unglued itself...... and even worse - the camera won't power up now. I took it to a repair shop - the camera is way out of warranty now at 4 years old.... and its looking like a $500+ repair bill.
Now I am faced with whether I should fix it, or put the money towards a new body - and I am thinking either D500 or D750... I have the Df, which I have actually been using exclusively since the D800 viewfinder developed the crack.
Why me!
