I dropped my camera on Saturday! I was in the living room and if slipped out of my hands, hit the coffee table, bounced once onto the other end of the coffee table and then onto the floor (narrowly missing my daughter whom was playing).
I picked it up and found it was intact. I couldn't even see where it had landed and it worked perfectly.
The surprising thing was that it wasn't my Shock Proof Mju 850SW, or the tank like E-3, but the E-420 with standard kit zoom. Looking at the coffee table it looked like first impact was on the lens rim as there's a 2 mm deep semicircular dent.
There's no dent on the plastic, not scuffs or anything on the camera, I feel both lucky and glad that Olympus put a lot of effort into the build quality of their cameras.
I also wonder weather the E-420 is too small for my frying pan hands!
