Camera envy

Wow, i went 8 days without adding another entry!! Goes to show just how dead my creativity has been. I'm still waiting for it to come back around, but no light at the end of the tunnel so far...

So yeah. Today i learned that the XSi has been released a few days ago. Needless to say i went green with envy towards all the people who helped made it the #11 best selling DSLR camera on amazon.com. Theoretically when i get my next paycheck and once the IB fellowship comes through, i can afford getting one for myself... But something inside me is telling me i should wait. This is not an impulsive thing since i've planned this and done my homework doing research since January, but still i can't justify robbing myself $900 - especially with my field trip waiting around the corner. And by the time i'm done buying all the lenses and flash i want for it, i'll be around $2,000 poorer. I feel that i should prioritize funding my field work over buying a DSLR, but then when will i ever have one?

Aarrgh. I guess we'll see how good my exercise of self control is once i have all my money back...
