So I didn't spend $250 on a new-to-me camera today, so I'm feeling rather proud of myself. I figured I already have 3 (count 'em *3*!) batteries for my current camera, and the same number (count 'em SAME NUMBER!) of compact flash cards, so I couldn't justify the expense of the camera + the expense of gearing it up like my current setup.

Mind you, I'm pretty much resigned to having to change batteries when I finally do upgrade, but the CF cards ... I'd like to be able to use those some more. They're pretty good. And big. Not really big, 'cause I don't want to lose *everything* when they finally crap out, but big enough to take lots of baby pictures and still have room for kittens and flowers. 'Cause you know that's what I'm all about.

So that's my news today: I didn't spend $250. Yay me.
