death and rebirth

While covering the elections in Burundi this months I have to declare, as sad as it is, that my G11 plus a lot of other equipment was stolen from my hotel room. The bad new is, that the G11 is gone now so are my backup disk with 6 months of work ( I know, I know, I should have never ever taken my backup drive with me... ).

On the bright side, after battling a almost two week long battle, I got the material damage refunded. With that money I did, what I was planning for some time now and started my switch from Nikon to Canon also on the DSLR side. So now I'm a proud owner of a Canon 7D and i have to admit it is a kick-ass camera for photojournalists. Videomode is excellent, photo quality is superb and even if it is "only" a APS-C sensor the ISO quality is just a little bit behind the 5D Mark II, even on 6400.

So, what I'm going to do now, is to convert the G11 blog to a 7D blog. Bear with me until I find some time to do the changes...
