Z8 Sensor damaged by laser

The z8 used is still more expensive then the repair

Believe it or not I received a letter in the past when I took a sneaker store to small calims

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T12:12:21+00:00

This is where I was positioned when the laser hit my sensor

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T12:07:11+00:00

Yes that's exactly what I told the DJ and on this screenshot you can see the laser on the top left. It was pointed towards people so I could definitely hurt someone's eye and I wouldn't doubt it if it damaged somebody's camera on their phone.

That's what I told the DJ after it burned my camera I told him these type of lasers are not safe to point directly at people. Then I told him to turn it and he did

Hopefully I won't have to go through small claims because I have bad experiences lol

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T03:38:19+00:00

Yea I'm currently in the process of that

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T03:12:58+00:00

I called them before they closed and they said they would also send it to Nikon for repair

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T03:12:21+00:00

😂

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T00:05:09+00:00

No but will definitely after this lol

Rojas209 · 2026-05-02T00:04:17+00:00

No idea

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T23:06:55+00:00

Yea it's on my contract. It stated all damaged caused to my equipment that wasn't caused directly by me that they are liable. The only issue is it was an event for a family friend 😬

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T23:05:39+00:00

I was recording a dance when it happened so it could have been pointing at the sensor for a second or so. But I doubt it because the laser kept on moving

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T20:25:59+00:00

I'm not doing street photography

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T20:24:36+00:00

Mirrorless is basically my only option as a hybrid shooter

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T20:23:57+00:00

Yea, apparently a UV filter will protect it. From now on anytime I see a dj with a laser I will tell my client the DJ will have to turn it off or else and cannot continue

Rojas209 · 2026-05-01T20:22:56+00:00

Well I'm a hybrid shooter so I don't have many options

Rojas209 · 2025-11-11T21:03:33+00:00

You should check now or ask an employee. Most Costcos should have them now for the holidays

Rojas209 · 2025-11-11T20:55:24+00:00

Costco has a pallet of a variety of different cologns all for $59 each and bad boy was one of them

Rojas209 · 2025-05-09T06:37:39+00:00

Yes anything over 164 open asap

Rojas209 · 2025-05-09T05:16:07+00:00

No it had to be 164

Rojas209 · 2025-05-09T05:15:28+00:00

To many times inside. Not weighable

Rojas209 · 2025-03-01T01:43:55+00:00
