Cameras
On my trip to Mexico (which I'll write up and post soon), I soon found that I'd much rather take still photos than video. Video's fun and dandy and all that, but editing it takes so much time which I don't really have. On the other hand, editing photos is relatively quick. (Not to mention that my PowerBook only has so much disk space on it and videos are a lot bigger than photos.) So now I've got to decide whether I should sell my camcorder in order to get a camera. And then of course the question arises as to which kind of camera. Right now I'm thinking digital SLR (DSLR), and PriceGrabber.com has various cameras of that sort starting around $550 (including the nice-looking Olympus EVOLT E300 Digital SLR which has a decent 8 megapixels and sells at $548 from at least one of the dealers). I'll have to study the field in more depth before I make any decisions, of course -- perhaps SLR is overkill (but I doubt it).

You should come back and visit us here in Thailand. So I get to meet you! ;) ha ha, My mom was telling me about you loved eating Durian. How strange for an american like you! You are indeed a Khon Thai budd.
Ah, durian. Mmm... :) You know, maybe I'll post about durian one of these days...
Ben, I recently purchased an Olympus SP-350 8 Megapixel camera. I thought about an SLR, but when I found this one I changed my mind. It has so many features, it's dizzying. You can also purchase lenses for it and an external flash. It also allows for shooting in RAW format. Needless to say, the $350.00 that I paid at costco online was worth it.
