But any ways that gives me an excuse to get the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 BEAST lens I've been wanting to get forever now. The camera was left plugged in to the computer after an earlier upload and when I grabbed it to head out the door it tugged from the cable and OUCH! Was about to cry. D700 is fine though I got lucky. I've been shooting for years and never dropped any of my equipment until then, and even luckier still that was my cheapest lens.
I had my D70s fall out of my camera back pack once. Destroyed the tele zoom lens i had at the time. Fortunately no damage was done to the camera and the lens was a $300 cheapie. Now i have special insurance for my camera gear that is in addition to my renters policy.
