Originally posted by Gregory I keep my camera with me by my side whenever i go out. Which is most of the time. You never know when the magic moment will hit..
I was out at a tattoo studio, camera slipped off my shoulder and hit the ground at a specific angle. It's a simple flaw. Some rubber added to certain points on the body would prevent this from happening in the future. Let's hope the next camera fixes this issue
Might I suggest you place the camera somewhere else, like around your neck. Then it should stay with you, unless your head falls off.
Cameras are designed to take pictures not to be a substitute for a basketball.
I can almost guarantee you that "the next camera" will be engineered to have more and different picture taking abilities and
not to be impact resistant.
Also, if there is that much external damage I can only imagine that there will be internal injuries as well.
Admit you screwed up, or had a bit of bad luck - whatever! - but don't blame the manufacturer because the product did not do something it was never intended to do.
