I just got outbid

on Ebay. Thank you God.

I want a new camera -- I placed a bid on a camera, but put a "9" instead of an "8" and didn't notice it until just now. Bad eyes, late night. I didn't notice it until I got outbid. And now I have been outbid with less than 10 minutes to go. And the people of God said "Amen."

BTW, do any of you use a digital camera? I have a Minolta Dimage that I really like, but I am itching to use my Nikon lenses. I used a Canon this weekend and got some glorious shots because I could do little lens tricks. (like this and this (notice the fuzziness of the background). I miss the flexability of my film camera -- especially being able to stop up or stop down and being able to push or pull the film -- much less shorten or lengthen the field with the lens. I miss it and I just can't do it with my current digital camera. I also miss being able to put a flash off to the side. I really want this but I can't afford it (like, who can???) Or even this. But this would be just really awesome.

I have some money put aside, but for some reason keep hesitating to buy it. Maybe it's my inner brat crying out "I want it NOW" that's causing me to hesitate.
