But the real question is - how would M9 fare in such a test ...

Be my guest and try it out - I promise I`ll watch the clip! 😀

That one. Seen it, it's crazy. I agree that he's got a similar style compared to Top Gear.

This one is crazy too:

Perhaps an M9 might still be in one piece in this test.

"Nano-crystal coating? How about some caesar dressing too..."

Hilarious. And I love all the aggressive comments - fascinating to see what really makes people upset in this day and age! 🙂

I found it pretty amazing how good the pictures looked after all the abuse, including cracked lens elements after driving nails with the glass.

Takeaway for me... Less concern over that little speck of dust on the lens 😉

That was amazingly entertaining to watch. I think I have new respect for digital SLRs.

I'm pretty confident I could use my 5d for lawn bowls and then take pictures of the after party at the pub with it... They definitely are a lot stronger than most people think!

As a matter of fact I have never seen a DSLR break down due to rough handling.
On the other hand; caring for your DSLR usually means that at some point you end up with a beautiful paper weight because some small electronic component has been fried for no apparent reason...

Fondling your camera too much leads to static charge build-up 😛

Ohh...that explains it then! I am glad my girlfriend doesn't have any electronic parts (none that I am aware of at least) 😉

Canon wanted a fee to check the camera over and Nikon didn't! 😱

Glad I bought a Nikon now. 😀

I laughed out when I heard it... it seems like he said it in the most unscripted way😀
