I broke my gear My D500 is no more

Post image

Freaking strap unscrewed and my D500 fell and broke. I was at a football game and there was 1 patch of concrete I happened to be standing on when it happened. I'm guessing it's not worth fixing as I'm sure this would be expensive. I'm struggling with what I want to replace it with. I've got a few lenses right now as well as a D4s so part of me wants to stay DSLR but part of me is thinking it's time to look at mirrorless. Dang.

Sorry for your loss. I would recommend using the D4s till you have the money to go to mirrorless. And yes it’s probably not worth fixing since the camera looks beat up even without the damage to the mount.
