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 .

I would go with what you already had and were happy with but this time add a simple rider to your homeowners policy.

I just added a rider for $12.50 per thousand dollars of camera equip., gear, etc annually. It covers everything that could possibly happen, theft, damage, overboard, etc and my rider has a zero deductible!

$125.00 annually to cover $10,000 worth of equipment is nothing..
