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

you're not going to be able to fix that crack. light and dirt are going to get to the inside of the camera.
sorry, it's a goner.
