Ouch...I'd be horrified to find the pins of my D300 bent.

How significant is your S/O? Enough to weather this storm? ;-)

Camera was a Christmas present to her last year. Only about $265.

I will keep her. Besides, she wants to buy me a way more expensive one this Christmas.
Then you have a year warranty. Hop to Canon's website and submit an online repair claim. They'll tell you if it's covered. I did this for a Rebel at work with the same problem. Easy peasy.

your wife's pins are bent and she said she didn't do it? I'm confused...

That's what the guys at work said. There's some vulnerability there that makes it easy to bend them without being rough or realizing you're bending them.
