You know how it is, you hand your camera to someone for safe keeping and whoops, they drop it 30 seconds later, from about waist height on to the road.

The only damage seems to be a tiny scratch on the case and the filter mount, that took the brunt of the force (and hence is no more).

I've run through all the functions I can think of and it appears to be okay. Shooting / reviewing / zoom / wide / auto focus / manual focus / image stabiliser.

Are there any other advice of what to check for before deciding I got away with it?

Thanks

PS. Sony a100 with 18-70 (and now unservicable filter holder)

take hold of the strap, swing round your head and make sure the camera makes contact with the "safe keeper"


You've done the obvious - take some shots
