How well can the 5DMIII withstand drops?
9 months ago

I have a 5DM3 and it was in a holster bag http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/digital-holster-20-v2.aspx ) and it fell off my dining table with a loud bang on the Pergo floor. I seriously doubt anything is wrong with it but it's brand new and bums me out. I doubt it landed on the lens portion; it landed on the body.

Everything is fine with the camera but I'm just wondering what sort of drop testing Canon does on these cameras?
