Ouch. This hits too close to home. I'd still be kicking myself around the block, so when I say Don't Do That! I give good advice from a hypocritical source!

Of course, the bottom line is: It happened. You can't change that.

I am so sorry, I really do know how you feel because I dropped my camera off a bridge about a year ago, never saw it again. Hope you & your new camera have amazing times together....
