But mainly because this drunken photographer managed to spill half a bottle of beer over it at the end of a long night...

So it smells like a brewery and the pop-up lens is glued down with gummy dried beer. Yes was too pissed to clean it properly at the time. At the time I thought it was pretty hysterical

That demon alcohol...

But the camera has survived perfectly, just have to hold my breath when taking photos, which is good technique anyway.

Anyway good info for the future if anyone was concerned about taking the camera to a brewery....

You're blessed with the D200's integrated beer seal

yes if only I had an integrated beer seal (to stop the beer getting in...)

If you should get pulled over for a breathalizer make sure they don't test the camera!

if you hate it, i'll put my hand up to take it off you. i don't mind a beer smelling camera

Which lens is that one Justin, the pop up one? Might still be a tad hung over? No borrowing my lenses when you are out for a night on the piss

woops - that would be the pop-up flash. I must still be hungover

Someone was asking what a used 35-70 goes for earlier, how about a beer-soaked 35-70 - lol - still works just fine!

Piro, no I love it still and it now has a dose of street cred

Have you tried licking it yet ?

Have you ever tried licking somebody or something the day after a big night out??? eeeuughhh

Your camera will soon acquire a more sophisticated pallette and will crave fine wines, spirits and liquers. You better watch out!

I'd be getting as much beer residue removed as possible since it's possible for the sugar and other nasties to cause damage over time.

My camera also got beered!
It happened when a picture of me and a friend were getting our picture taken then like 10 happy drunk Aussie jumped in the picture! and put his beer hand over my shoulder pouring beer over! Got a picture of it happening but the man's face is blocked. haha. Lucky the 70-200 is weather sealed (even if it is raining beer!)

Stubbsy I've opened everything that does and wiped down a couple times with a damp cloth - don't smell no more...
