Nikon D3 Drop Test
And what a great way to start off your Wednesday morning - you get to see someone drop their Nikon D3 from their second floor apartment to the brick sidewalk below.
Unfortunately, the author of the video has disabled the embedding options - so you will have to click here to watch the video on YouTube.
Woohoo! And apparently, it survives. Now I personally don’t even drop my $500 cellphone, much less a $5,000 camera
You can also see a D3 get coated with some Chocolate Milk, apple sauce and some yogurt and then get cleaned with a bucket of water on this other video from the same author. (I’m assuming it’s the same D3 from the first video? Unless he has an unlimited supply of them)
Maybe this camera will turn up on eBay someday - described as ‘used, in excellent condition’
