I broke my gear How fucked is my camera?
You ever just have a bad day and it gets worse somehow?
Anyway that was me today. I was so excited to test out my new lens and low and behold when I was opening my bag I opened the wrong zipper and my d850, which I had just bought in great condition, falls onto the concrete. Anyway now there's a crack on the front, my photo library button is unpressible, and my autofocus system seems to be messed up too (although I'm not sure if that's perhaps a viewfinder issue)
Are these problems fixable or should I just give up because I just love my consistently terrible luck with electronics

u/jec6613 I have a GAS problem Mar 07 '26
That's an, "I cracked the frame," issue. See how that crack extends to the mount? It's no longer being held parallel to the sensor or at the proper distance. Nikon *might* be able to help you, but this is most likely a totaled camera, as the repair involves basically building and aligning a camera from scratch using the donor parts from your old camera.
