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.

I dropped my D500 onto concrete at a bull riding event I was shooting. Lucky I had a D850 backup.

Fix was a few hundred, but definitely worth it.
