Canon 1D X… Cracked Wide Open

I found out the hard way that the 1D X’s magnesium alloy shell is far from bulletproof after a tumble off a golf cart onto concrete left me with a crack in the armor. Cam still performed flawlessly, but so much for the weather sealing (and the attached 24-70). That’s the one downfall of the Spider Holster I use; no camera straps.
After a short two-day visit to Canon’s New Jersey repair facility, the body transplant was complete. Canon was kind enough to return the damaged parts, for your viewing pleasure.
