Camera Eulogy

My D200 and 24mm f/2.8 are gone. They were stolen out of my backpack at the Shenzhen train station three nights ago. It is pretty awful to be camera-less, but at least my equipment was very well used before it was taken away. Insurance will cover getting brand-new replacements (minus a $500 deductible), but I will miss my D200.

This is the first photograph taken with my camera, in Syntagma Square, Athens, Greece.
And this is the last photo (downloaded) from my camera, in Beijing, China, taken for a story about Chinese drinking games on November 26th.
I received my D200 in Athens on June 11th, 2007, and have had it with me for the last 2.5 years, traveling across four continents and shooting many, many assignments. Thank you, dear camera.
As for good news, I think I will upgrade to a D700.
