Digital Camera Died

To my great annoyance, my digital camera decided to die. It is very annoying because all the pictures I took of this year's Renaissance Festival were on that camera. I was looking forward to downloading them and posting them on this blog. It also means I have to buy a new one and new digital cameras aren't cheap. After comparing various cameras, I've settled on the Canon EOS-30D. It has a wide choice of lenses, uses a flash card and has a USB 2.0 port so I can easily download pictures to my laptop. The only downside to this camera will be the price for it, a good multi-lense, flash card and battery recharger. I'll likely be looking at over $1,000. Damn. Oh well. Hopefully, this camera will last me a good long time. We'll see.
