I guess all those news services that switched to Sony knew how tough a camera they were handing over to their staff photographers, worldwide.

Maybe they should have taught staff photographers how to hold on to a camera.
It is always good to hear when a piece of equipment {or person} survives a fall or other possible disaster!

The Nikon F36 survived the Vietnam war the dirt the bombs And good photographer could use it without the battery because it was all mechanical and only needed a battery for the meter . And yes many fell down hillsides the camera and Nikromat were the standard of the time . Nikon been there Done that its about time for a Sony to finally do it . Did i also say they have been to space and the Moon still used today by NASA .

Not exactly a fall. No real impact just a bit of rolling and mostly sliding.
Interesting to watch it slide down and the great catch.

While watching the video, I noticed at least three pieces breaking off the camera during the fall.
