Would this drop affect my sharpness and pix quality ? Would appreciate some
light on this ?>>>>>>

Ferdinand, 

The fall of six inches could be as bad as a fall of six feet under the
right conditions, it's like being a little bit pregnant and you don't want
to wait 9 months before you find out that you have an internal problem.:) 

Best to have it looked at if you hear clinking and clanking sounds you
didn't hear before. :(
