I knocked camera (D7000) with 16-85mm lens off garden table... onto flagstones <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> yesterday...
Can't find anything wrong with either the camera or lens... seems the lens hood may have taken the brunt of the impact: I can't even see any marks on the camera body.
I've taken a few test shots today, at various apertures & focal lengths. All seems to be as it should be. Lens mount seems undamaged too, no issues changing lenses.
Are there any specific tests I should do? Should I take it to a dealers to get it checked?

If it looks ok and works ok, don't worry. You might want to use various features to make sure nothing else is broken. Actually if it landed lens hood first, they can deform quite a bit so would have significantly softened the blow than if it landed body first.
