While canoeing, my companion caused us to capsize and my D-800 was immersed in the river- fresh water. It and my 28-300 are off to Nikon service -melville.

I have not heard back yet and I am dreading to hear how bad it will be.

I am so mad I can hardly contain myself. There was no need for the capsize other than clumsiness of the other person. If there had been a rapids or other potential danger I would have stowed it in my waterproof case, but there was no cause for concern at the time.

I am very dismayed that he has not offered to compensate me or expressed any concern for my loss.

And I thought he was a friend.....

Anyway if the worst case is , d-800 is beyond repair what do I replace it with ? 800 , 800E, or 600

I checked with homeowners -got the usual answer it`s not covered.

I am totally bummed .

sad story, something similar but less dramatic happend to me last year. I offered a friend to teach him about film photography, and he bumped my camera somehow and flew away when we got back to develop the film... Some people are just plain cowards.
