As my family members will tell you - I agonize over spending money; especially on myself. And it's even harder when I screw up and loose something and have to replace it.
I've had to do that twice now this year (please, Lord, can it stop?). But, I have to say - I have definitely failed up. That's my term for screwing up, yet ending up in a better situation (although poorer in this case). Of course, these days it's hard to fail down with technology continuing to improve at a rapid pace. However, I just replaced my lost camera - and am so excited.
I ended up purchasing a Canon T2i with a 18-135mm lens. Sweet. It's a fantastic camera and a pretty good, mid-level lens. I decided on one lens with good wide angle (18mm) and decent zoom.. over two lens solutions - because it's so much nicer to just grab and go and not be changing lenses (something I learned with the Olympus). I do plan to get a fixed 50mm lens down the road for indoor or low light shooting. I've played with one and had two different people highly recommend it (thanks Jon and Jeremy).
For now, though, I just wish the battery would hurry up and finish charging so I can start to play!
PS.. shocker alert... but I even decided to buy locally and pay CA sales tithe. I know, I know, I know.
