I’m in the market for a new digital camera. I have one but i haven’t used it since freshman year of college… stopped when i met Joe and used his camera. hahaha

So I’m in NC, christmas vacation, and Joe isn’t coming and that means, no camera. And I have to take pictures for a project. what to do?

I could use my parents point and shoot 35mm FILM camera. which could be interesting because i could probably do something cool with the negatives. but it’s just a point and shoot. I have no control on aperture or film speed. well. film speed yes but only in buying the film. and most importantly, if I screw up the shooting, i won’t know until I get the film developed and there goes my vacation…

I want a nice digital camera. I kinda want to get an ultra compact, so I can carry it around easily with me… almost all the time. but it comes back to the point and shoot. I don;t just want to click and that’s it. I like to control all the variables.

I found an ultra-compact that I can control, but it’s $600 … if I’m going to spend that much i might as well get the SONY A100 SLR…. and have full control over everything and be able to change the lenses.

I have to think if i want a ultra compact and suffer with the limited controls but have the portability for less money, or just get the big one with more control….

AHHHHHHHHHH WHY IS GETTING A CAMERA SO DAMN DIFFICULT!!!

I think I should just go to Best Buy or something and just play with all the cameras… even if it will be useless, at least i’d have played with some cameras…

So I found a whole freaking awesome SonyA100 kit on ebay for like, $630 plus shipping and I’m all exited until I saw the “won’t ship to an unverified address” well.. damn… My paypal and address are verified but not my parents. TO get them a paypal account and verify them will take a few days PLUS no garuntee that they will sell to my parents because of their big fat ZERO in feedback on ebay.
this.sucks.

oh, and appologies for the stupid teenieBop angsty whining. I just want a camera.
