Post #11 says he had none, I hope they're wrong!

A canon wouldn't have had that problem, I agree. A canon wouldn't be good enough to be out there in the first place

 

[Markk]

Quite the damage done. And pretty cool, in a hardcore kind of way.

 

[Flash In The Pan]

Judging by the guy's blog it was only a matter of time

Certainly not a 5D MKII LOL maybe a ID MKIV

He had to have insurance so it's no big deal. If he does that kind of work without insurance then he's a plonker.

Thread says he isn't insured, so he's a plonker.

Best shot of the day was taken by a Canon. Again.

 

[AndyB]

Well then he has enough money not to worry about it - doesn he look upset in the pics? No he doesn't

 

[desantnik]

I doubt if any insurance would cover that anyway.

Still, could have been worse, its only a camera and only money - if he had been holding it then it would have been something not easily replaced as well...
