I don't even have a DLSR. I just borrow them from friends and family members

Last year I purchased my wife a nice Samsung point and shoot (<$200) with an excellent variety of custom programming capability including shutter speed and aperture. Of course, no interchangeability, but it's got a decent quality 24mm lens. It does fine for me any time the iPhone 4S camera falls short

my pops uses a point and shoot but he takes beautiful pictures with it when he goes out hiking.

the ONLY reason why i bought the DSLR was i wanted to make my own lens distortion by using wide lens and give the image of my car appear a tad more artistic than the FLAT boring pict my droid took. also since im very limited with time, i wanted to have the option to use filters.

but then, mr.alcheng HAD to tell me he liked my droid pict out of all the picts that i had up in my albums page some taken using my DSLR.

We have a regional overnight shipping carrier (Lonestar) that charges a surcharge if you use their packaging materials to send ground packages. We always ship ground cause it's like $6 for a huge set of architectural plans overnight, so we just use FedEx materials cause one of the other businesses in our offices gets them for free

I know how expensive that stuff gets, and I know my weaknesses. I'm not opening myself up to DSLR GAS lol

hahaha, i too have used fedex material to ship USPS and such. but i have so many amazon boxes coming in every week at the house, i just use that these days for my personal shipments.

i think i spent about $1K on my paper weight (DSLR)... it's good to have when most needed, but definitely NOT a necessity. i dont see myself spending more on my camera stuff as i just dont have a thing for photography other than taking my car picts..which only usually looks like a used car ad photo.
