Cool about Zipcar, I think when I sell mine I'll probably try it out. It'd be cheaper than parking around here.
Thanks for the input on cameras. I actually forgot to mention, or rather I played it down. See, I'm a bit obsessed I'm afraid. When I go to buy something new, I do so much damn research it's exhausting.
I haven't had a good digital camera yet, just point and shoot, but I do shoot film - Both Medium Format and 35mm. I'm getting the digital so I can be more spontaneous, and not worry about processing costs.
So here's the ones I'm looking at: (I'm using my tax return to do this with, so I have a little $$ to play with.)
-Canon 20D - I like having the option to add the vertical grip (I like my cameras big). Plus, the 8MP is nice. -Nikon D70 - Just cuz it seems silly not to look at it, with the price being so good. -Fuji S3 - This is the one I'm in love with, but can't afford. I found it for a great price, but from what I've read about the website, it's a big ol' scam. - And - the one I think I'm gonna end up getting - the Konica Maxxum 7D. It's got a great anti-shake technology in the body, so the lenses can be cheaper. Vertical grip available, and it's got a lot of manual controls (I'm used to shooting totally manual.)
Anyway - good to hear that buydig is on the up and up, I'll probably go with them or just hit B&H.
Once I get it, we should get together and go on shooting expeditions!
I'd like to hear more of your opinions on cameras. I'm a big ol' tech geek!
