Camera karma is real.  A friend of mine had to use his Nikon F4 as a
weapon when caught in a tight spot in El Salvador, and some of the
blows put the camera onto continuous mode and pressed the shutter
enough to fire the rest of the roll.  One of the shots won him a
fairly prestigous prize.  That camera loves him.
