My house in a crash! + feats

Journal Entry: Mon Jul 19, 2010, 12:55 PM


A couple days back I was out with some friends, having a BBQ, drinkin a couple beers. With me of course I have my 7D with a 17-70 sigma attatched.

I sit down on the ground just talking with my friends, with my camera resting on my lap, well, more on my left knee almost.
In my right hand I hold a beer. I take the last sip of the beer and since it's empty I thought I'd put it aside.
As I lean over to my left to put the can down, I accidently nudge my camera... This wouldn't be an issue most of the time but THIS time we're up on a CLIFF and below me is just rocks followed by a bigger drop!
The camera that's just been tapped enough to loose it's balance starts to bounce down the rocks...
From the first bounce we all frooze and looked at the camera bouncing down the rocks. I didn't do anything, nobody did anything, it was all quiet and all I could hear was "bonk, tink, thogh, bonk...". The camera stops. It's all silent for a couple seconds followed by a friend saying
-"Duude, shit man, that's not good right?!, with my answer beeing -"Hehehehhe (laughter of fear) naw it's ok, it's a Canon! (more laughter of fear, heart start pounding!) I walk down to the camera and expect it beeing all busted since the bounces didn't exactly sound "nice".

I couldn't seriously belive what I saw when I got down to the camera. NOTHING, absolutely nothing was done do the camera or lens. Not even the flower my lens was damaged more than a couple scratches.
After I wiped it all down and started to check for damages all I could find was 2-3 dents in the body barely visible.
Newfound respect for the raw build of the 7D house I must say, damn fine durability. Credit also goes to sigma for quality in the build.

I haven't felt scared for years but those seconds the camera bounced of the rocks everything just stopped, I was terrified.

Now with my durability test completed and I've checked the camera for internal damage, with none found, I'm at peace again =].

CANON can ROCK!

Is your camera busted? Sell it and buy a Canon!


























Cya later, /Rob

I'm in Italy so no replys, sorry!

I wouldn't count on it to be "soon" anyways. As I've mentioned a couple times before, I have a few pieces that's ready and/or almost. Those images I think I'll post here but I'm not entierly sure.
Then If I'll make new sci-fi? No, most likely not. In case it'll be more of design/layout more. I'm passed the whole sci-fi genre I think. It was a great run and it's awesome but It's not for me any more I think.
Also in my job now as a designer I don't work at all with sci-fi related things so that also adds to I spend less time with it since I wanna develop myself within design/photo since that's what Im working with + think is great fun =].

We'll see. I won't say NO but it's not a YES either. =]

It's a fantastic camera in every way. Very good quality imagery, very good movie quality with superiour settings on the market. Good grip, nice housing. Just feels good in general.
Nice focal points and solid menu features and settings. Good button layout.

Pretty much 5/5 from me.

What do you think so far?
