Cunts
It's like people who look at your 35mm cameras and open the back to see if there is any film in there - fucking die in a hole
Complete and utter cunts.
rage
Sons of bitches, all of them.
They got caught.

Am I terrible for laughing? Anyway, everyone is blaming it on the photographer instead of the kids, idiots.

American flag and Captain America in avatar does not help it either.
How can people lack so much common sense that they don't think about the consequences of abusing electronic equipment?
I don't care what they do to him, just leave the devices alone.

He's right though in saying that the gear probably wasn't destroyed. Sure, perhaps the iPad and iPhone but not the camera

the D4 and D3 should be pretty water resistant, at least enough to survive a brief dip. Unfortunately we can't tell from the video anything about the impacts (other than one of his cameras was hanging loose and could easily have been knocked around a bit. It'd be pretty bad if the lens got cocked loose at all and let water get through the bracket, and the obvious question of whether the external lens got beat up by anything

It takes literally one drop of water in the right place to fuck your camera up beyond all repair.

cameras are amongst the most sensitive technology we have today, there's a reason that they craft CUSTOM lenses and focusing rings in millimeter differences. they're designed to be EXTREMELY precise -- throwing a camera into a fountain is like dropping your laptop from 20 feet up

those SLRs are water resistant but i doubt they are going to fair too well in a dunk like that
the lenses in his bag are probably pretty fucked up from water damage too because they're only water sealed [I]on[/I] the camera by the rubber gasket

Sure, I forgot about his bagged lenses, but I still stand by my statement (besides, his other shooter probably had one of the remaining lenses attached to it). Have you ever handled a camera like the D3 and D4? These cameras are made to handle situations far worse than this. That laptop drop analogy is misleading, at least for these cameras. As an owner of a 1Ds, I can assure you that they can survive more abuse than that. Now, remember that I said "probably" and not "for sure". And what the hell is "custom" lenses supposed to mean? Of course a lens is built with "custom" parts to fit specifications. Sorry if I sound bitter, but there was a lot of unnecessary flak going on.

i think it was more that your post made it sound like the cameras took no damage at all and sounded a little inconsiderate for the photographer's gear.

I see what you mean, I meant that we could at least find some joy in his gear possibly surviving. But yeah, utter cunt move by those kids anyway
Would've been a great shot if he wasn't pushed into the water.

if the lens on the cameras weren't waterproofed then I doubt being fully submerged is going to do a lot of good for the cameras. it can still get in through the mount in to the prism/sensor if he got unlucky
i know these cameras are tough, they can take water damage, but this is pretty severe as far as it goes. one of them were under for a good few seconds which is plenty of time for it to wreak havoc on the internals; regardless of whether or not the cameras can still be used, there's a good chance some of the smaller elements of the camera aren't as usable anymore either

and no, i doubt the knocks on the cameras did as much as damage on the cameras. as you say, they're tough; i've seen numerous high end DSLRs tumble down flights of stairs or be flung off a tripod and be OK

Having a DSLR out in the rain is risky, but full on submersion guarantees all of his equipment was fried. As a photographer myself, I feel bad for the dude.
It irks me that you say that it's garanteed. For non-believers, I suggest you read about this stress test [url]http://petapixel.com/2013/05/23/the-nikon-d3s-can-survive-getting-wet-muddy-frozen-dropped-and-burned/[/url] where a D3s was submerged AND frozen and still working when thawed. The video of the stress test can be seen here

That is a Nikon D3s, which is a high-end DSLR and is roughly 3x the price of a Nikon D4 and D3 (The Croatian photographer's camera.)
And there is no way that camera functions as perfect as it used to after that.
okay real talk like in the heat of the moment i would have wanted to shoot everybody involved in the face and i feel terrible for the guy but i laughed :(

What are you talking about? Are you just guessing? The D3s is the successor to the D3, making it more expensive (since the D3 is older) but far from "3x price of the D4 and D3". They are all nikon's current and previous flag ship models. No of course, but that was at an extreme.
