That is one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen.

What was it? D70s?

it was a very old D70 that had an accident that put its repair cost over its value...i thought i would try repair it myself and i took a work in progress picture ...i should have it back together in a few years if i work at it

Ouch, that's one seriously mangled D70 :shock:

But, if that makes a Nikon owner have a nightmare, I wonder what this does to a Canon owner :wink:

Was taking a closer look at a few of the parts and thought i would let other people see some of it

Mind you i was not expecting to see quite so much Sony branded parts in there like the metering sensor and the Image sensor and some sort of sensor that was over the viewfinder

Shame you wacked it with a hammer I would have bought the diecast housing from you. My D70 suffered from a nasty accident - it still works but the casting is cracked around the lens mount

That part on my camera was also cracked as it was damaged by it getting hit into a poll when it got caught up in something when i was getting out of the car (was caught up in a jumper that i was in a rush to get out)

EDIT: I would like to point out it took close to 2 years of it sitting in the box broken for me to finally admit...it was not worth fixing and time to smash it up and take pictures to remember it by!! :oops: o and it also was a good workout from a bad week at work :D
