Where to get parts for a Nikon D5000 SLR, with DX VR: AF-S

nonsense. they may not be as rugged as a d3 class camera, but they do *not* break the moment you drop or jostle them. While that's probably true, it's undeniable that this teeny tiny piece of plastic that holds the bayonet mount of my Nikon lens onto my Nikon camera broke from being dropped a very short distance onto a hard concrete floor. Also, looking at the pictures I posted, I can't imagine anyone denying that this is a weak link in the lens mount. If that weak link were engineered out of better materials, what would have happened? I don't know: a) What I hope would have happened is ... nothing. b) But, maybe dropping the camera would have broken something else. But if (b) is the answer, how the heck do 'war photographers' get their job done? What I do in daily life can't even be 1 millionth of what they do with their equipment. Q: Given I use the camera every day for personal use (I'm an old guy who isn't jumping out of airplanes anymore so it's pretty tame stuff), what would you recommend is a sturdy SLR that won't break like this Nikon did? |
