Hi Folks:
Last year during a short weekend trip with my family in the south regions of Chile in southamerica, we had a car accident. My wife and older kid were fine but my youngest kid 4 years old had a seizure which sent him into the pediatric ICU for a couple of days ( I am an Orthopeadic Surgeon and believe me that there is no worse nightmare than giving the first care to your own child and to see all of this from the patients side). thanks God everything resulted fine, my kid had no consequences, and now that the sand has settled I can tell you about my ripped EX-1.
The camera was in the back of my Escape, with no protection in that moment since we were moving from one placed to another in short distances, it had attached a nanoflash which flew inside the car. and the camera bounced all over the trunk, as you can see from the pictures it had severe structural damage and it didnīt work at all. I sent it to Sony technical service. and it was repaired after 3 months, the camera arrived last week and itīs working in perfect condition. From tech service they said all the external panels where changed and the internal frame that holds the lens, which was fine without damage to the internal elements.
As far as the nanoflash it didnīt have any functional damage at all just a few scratches in the outside.
Apart from the awful experience which turned out fine for all of us. this cameras are great machines holding well to severe damage.
greetings
