nikon d7000 destroyed

i was filming on a hot spring in utah, when a gust of wind pushed my two month old nikon d7000, that was mounted on a tripod, into the hot sulfur water. the lens broke off immediately so that the water and mud could enter the camera body. mud and water all over the mirror the sensor and so on. i destroyed 1250$ in 25 seconds and what i got in exchange was this unique footage with six weird stills after the impact ...

did you take a lunchbreak or are you stupid enough to not be around when you have your camera on your tripod...lesson always stay 3 feet or one meter away from the camera don't expect the tripod to be a security of not failing badly

@TheChill0ut well obviously i was too far from the tripod - it was more or less in reach but i looked to the other side and realized it to late... anyway this lesson was learned - i would say never take the hand of the tripod outdoors. :(

I once dropped my Canon EOS7D on the ground...except a few scratches on the lens hood and battey grip, both the camera and lens (24mm f1.4) were fine.

You should get a Canon!

Nikon sucks. Justice has just been achieved. Canon rocks

[igoropulas]

It used to be a good camera, unless it got an arrow in it's knee
