Finding the Best Camera...

If you have ever tried to find the "best camera" for you, you might be highly amused by Mike Johnston's excellent satirical article Letter To George. He really is a very funny and insightful writer, Mike.
Step 3. After the digicam fails utterly on an expensive vacation—just when you most needed it to work—buy a Canon G10 premium fixed-lens camera. ($420.)
Step 4. Three weeks later, G11 comes out. Buy that ($470), sell G10 at $150 loss.
Step 5. Realize that G10 actually has more megapixels than the G11; sell G11 ($120 loss), buy another G10.

    Ha, much truth here.

    I've kind of gone full circle. Back to the P&S. A LX3, does most of the jobs, where I don't need the speed of a dSLR and it (kind of) fits in my pocket and my family actually feels that I'm out with them, and not my camera bag.

    Suddenly I feel a strange urge to write a 78-step guide to picking your best videogaming console...

    I think I need a new lens. Suddenly, TC looks like a guy on that avatar! ;-)

    And I suddenly feel like using the word "suddenly" a lot. This feels kinda sudden...
