Dropping a camera

[PictureHub]

Should you worry when you accidentally drop your camera? A friend mentioned that accidents do happen, so there should be nothing to worry about if it is in perfect working order. I assume that a DLSR should be able to withstand extreme conditions.

Depends on how far down the drop is and the surface of where it lands, Personally, I freak out. It only happened once, but that was enough for me to be more careful.

You can always insure it so you don't have to worry about it too much. Full Frame Insurance is one such company that deals with this. I'm not promoting, I'm just pointing it out.

I've dropped mine plenty of times over the years, but I still cringe every time it happens. If the drop is severe enough it could definitely do some damage to the lens or inner mechanics.
