A New Camera on the Way
So, I've been wanting a new Digital Camera for a long time. The one I have works ok as a simple point and shoot, but I've been wanting to do more. The technology has come such a long way since my first digi-cam, and the prices have really come down.
So I decided to do some research on different digital SLR cameras, and found one that has some really great features, but easy to run for a "beginner" SLR camera. You can study too at Steve's Digicams. After I picked the camera best for me, I started shopping and here's the prices I found:
8.0-megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR with
EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-f5.6 zoom lens
List Price: $1,499.99
My Price: $400
Saved $1100 (73%)
SanDisk SDCFH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II CompactFlash Card
List Price: $349.99
My Price: $89.99
saved $260 (74%)
I can't wait to take some shots and post them here, but until it comes in, check this blog that's got pictures from the area we'll be headed to next year. This guy has some really fantastic photos, he is also working far away from his family, as I will be soon. http://1207aoimori.blog7.fc2.com/ and here's some shots of my new cam:

I got scammed, for free, but still... I consider myself a rather saavy internet buyer, so it feels good to spot the scam and not get suckered in for money, but now I gotta find another camera. A new post of the scam is on the way.
cheapest I can find is $579 now. Still looking...
ms. lilly went through gateway and paid $120 for hers. it is a soney cybershot 3.2 mega pixles. It does the job.
