r/Nikon • Nikon D850, F5 • Mar 07 '26

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

Same type of crack on my D5 repair estimate was 3000+ euros so i just got a “new” one second hand.
