Woe and dismay! My poor camera has sustained a wound. The damage appears to be limited to the LCD screen though, so it will be as if I'm shooting film until I can get the nice folks at Nikon to perform surgery.

The D200 IR convert saw the whole thing and is inconsolable. I think he blames himself.

Yeah. I once read a review that rated the durability of the D3 as "Combat" out of 4 stars. I would suggest that this rating be changed to "Almost Combat".

I think I dropped a load in my pants. This is horrific. I wonder if somehow the Nikon folks could give you an award....possibly a new body?!!?

Yeah, it was kick in the Jimmy that's for sure. On the plus, side, since Nikon uses the same LCD in many cameras, the repair will be a lot more manageable than I feared. Though I'd certainly not turn up my nose if Nikon wanted to reward me for literally combat testing their products.

I really think you could get some sort of achievement award of some-sort....if not a body, a gift card would be nice! I bet as a photojournalist, you might have these sorts of awards available to you. It just seems like somewhere out there, there's a way to get credentials, you know? :)

Maybe, though I'm totally not a photojournalist. I'm just your run of the mill hobbyist that happens to be in the military. Maybe send them photos of the damage and then pictures I took with it after the damage and expound on how awesome a camera is that can still take good photos after taking that kind of a beating.
