Does drowning a Nikon F in the Raritan Bay count? If so, yeah, I dropped one in over 50 feet of seawater (it's still on the bottom if you want to go fish it out). It has a real nice 20mm lens on it, or at least it WAS a real nice 20mm lens, it's been down there since 1983...

Well, on my video camera, yeah.
I was filming a paintball tournament, and I had the camera there sitting on my tripod. My friend's son came running across the parking lot and accidentally kicked my tripod and the camera fell down. The view finder broke and was hanging by a wire. Luckily, still worked!

ahh vista
ahh vista, the words of a rookie! any camera fanatic that has been at it for more than ten years is going to inevitably break something! you ready for my story? i had put my camera on my roof one night, and left the shutter on so i could see the stars move. than, i heard a BANG in the house.. yes it was my camera, off the roof, into the grass. but it still worked.YES i thought i had gotten lucky! the next night, i set it out again, this time on the grass for fear of the same thing happening again. then, when i woke up the next morning, (no joke) a deer was in my yard.. eating it! thats just one of my crazy mishaps woth cameras!
