Hood much have taken quite a bit of force to break.
Thinking more, you could check the mechanical functions e.g. flash, shutter, mirror and switches and buttons are ok. If they are, there's not a lot left I would think...
I have dropped my SLR camera before too, but it wasn't from that high and was onto grass so not the hardest surface. Only problem I had was getting rid of the grass stain and smell! Also dropped the E-P1 once too. That bounced on carpet without harm. That's a bigger worry as the built in stabilisation seems to be a weak point on Sony cameras for example, but I got away with it on this occasion.
