You guys are going to talk me into buying a camera, and I don't really
have a need for one. Next year my daughter is going to be married and
we were planning on buying a quality camera then. I hate to spend
money now when I can wait 8 months and get better quality for less
price. Maybe if I can find a cheap used one, it will get me into the
game.

Then I can email Adams all the pics he wants.
