Sorry about the sensor, but thanks for warning the rest of us.

I would have thrown up and started crying.

I remember one photog from the Philippines having the same experience, and everytime he takes a picture, there were a lot of PINK DOTS/STUFF on every image.

Thanks for putting it up, I guess I'll shoot rave parties with a webcam, then.

way to burn both your eyes and ears. I went to a club once and it was freakin loud!

If the laser did that to a senser... Imagine your eye >.>

"You need to concentrate the sunlight of a 40mm diameter circle in order to burn something. So immediately, we can see that damage only occurs with lenses of 50mm or larger. Next, to get the effective diameter of your diaphragm, you must divide your focal length by the aperture setting. So if you have a 105mm lens at f/5.6, then your effective diaphragm opening is just under 19mm. That’s not enough to cause damage to the sensor.In short, u need a fast, long lens in order to cause damage." ;quote
