Thanks. This is fantastic. Says something about the durability of the Nikon, too.

Yes, well, I once dropped a Nikon Coolpix camera from the top of the Goliath (Six Flags rollercoaster). It just fell out of my pocket... and landed about a foot from a concrete path below, snugly in the grass. That was a 153 feet drop, and it still worked perfectly.

Wow. You should tell Nikon. They could use that story...maybe for $$.
