Saw that link from Fred... Did you see the conversation with the Canon guy.....
- I told him I fell with the camera. He proudly said there wasn't a camera that they couldn't fix and to send it in.
- I asked if he had web access and gave him my SS page URL. He typed it in.
- Next thing I heard was a long drawn out "Wooow" heavily laced with disbelief in what he was seeing on his monitor. I would have liked to have seen his face... LOL.
- "Now you see why I wanted to call first," I said.
- Joe then said, "Let me show one of my senior technical advisers," and put me on hold for about 15 seconds.
- "Sir, I'm sorry, but I think its not going to be repairable. What happen?"
See the lens still works though :-)

Wimps. A little duct tape will take care of that!
From the post under the pic:
"The funny part, the camera still operates just fine. The heart, brain, and soul is all operating just fine. All the menu commands, the light meter, and the LCD review work just fine. So may be, may be Canon it isn't dead yet, but definitely on life support at the moment!"
Canon, the camera of champions!

That is a funny, although heart wrenching, read!
Good find, made my Sunday morning.
And if I'm not mistaken, it looks like there already was duct tape on the back of the camera body?

That's why we ALL have full replacement value insurance on our cameras, right? :D
I think the worst part of the whole thing was probably having all those spectators witnessing it happen. Just think how many people with camera phones and point and shoots and (gasp!) Nikons took pictures of the incident and the aftermath. Of course other Canon owners would have politly turned their heads and looked elswhere, I'm sure.
It could have been worse... he could have been around other photographers with the same expensive equipment and taken out 3 or 4 of them with the mono-pod and 2 with that lens while trying to keep himself from hitting the ground. Now that probably would have made the 11 o'clock highlights. LOL!
If he has insurance, it will make a great mantle piece. If not... ;)
