Ok, so I refuse to enter into any type of debate about the quality of
Mcdonalds beef!?! Besides, we always eat the chicken nuggets! hehe.
However, to everyone else...
Peter, I discussed my insurance in my previous post, unfortunately, it
wasn't covered. However, my main priority of course always was and is my
human babies, and luckily, they are just fine.

Well, I do see that there is a rather intensive battle going on here between
LX and non-LX users and these things do of course, happen for a reason, I
may look into it, however, there is an LX on auction on ebay at the moment
and with 4 days to go it has already hit the au$600 mark (out of my
league)....

a 50 ft drop."
I will do my best to do this for you, however, I took it straight to the
camera shop when it happened in a fruitless bid to somehow have it put back
together, the guy simply looked at me and said "sorry, i stopped doing
jigsaw puzzles in primary school" and laughed rather smuggly to himself as I
had been gloating over my purchase to him for some time (he is a canon
user). I left the parts there in my disgust. I will go back today and see
what he has done with them. Fingers crossed that all will be present and
accounted for. I actually had the urge to run home and get my MZ-50 and
take a shot of all of the debris where it lay after the event, but it would
have been impractical with my kids and it was getting dark etc so I just
picked it all up and dropped it off to the camera guy. I might go back to
day and see if I can at least take shot of the cliff face for you.....

were both insured and repairable."
Yep, not insured or repairable, but as I said before, these things happen
for a reason, and I am sure that there must be another opportunity of some
description waiting for me out there - just gotta find it.....
Doug Brewer, thanks for your post about the 8-ball analogy. I learned Doug,
boy did I learn! I think I will be buying a reaaaally good, really stable
tripod before I buy another expensive camera body, and my kids and camera's
just aren't a good scenario to consider any more! But, yes, once again, at
least my boys are safe....
:-)
Sorry for the lengthy responses guys, I just wanted to make sure that I
didn't miss anybody, I didn't anticipate on receiving so many responses when
I posted this!
