Varneeezy Senior Member  More info | May 19, 2015 23:10 | #1 Recently exploring the backwoods of Northern California. I was walking around a creek bed and slipped on a mossy rock. Needless to say I landed on the elbow I was holding my camera with and my camera hit a rock. I'm not sure how hard it hit but I know it did make contact. It's a canon 70d. I know it has a magnesium alloy body, but I'm still afraid lol. It still focuses good and the shutter and viewfinder still work. No damage to the body at all. Should I be worried?

Might as well. It is like a car that you know has a problem. If it an intermediate type problem, no reason to take it to the mechanic if it is working when you take it in. Just saying, there is nothing to gain by trying to get a camera fixed when it is not exhibiting any problems. Philip
