MY WIFE TELLS ME that the camera all the on-line mommies want is the Canon Digital Rebel Camera. The moms with photos of their babies & kids taken with that camera are the envy of the online mommy community I understand. The topic came up the other night because the photo store at the Irvine Spectrum was giving away photos with Santa on a scooter taken with the Rebel. The photographer said it was the first digital camera he's ever liked. Unfortunately, the price of the camera is more than a bit over our budget.

The mommies are also drooling over the Nikon D70. The price of these things will have to come down -- or blog traffic will have to go way, way up -- before a camera like this will be in our price range. In the mean time my wife worries that with our current not very good digital camera we are, "missing our kids most precious years." Even I picked up on the big Christmas gift hint. But my wife knows it's beyond our budget so she knows she's just wishing.

After "passing out from sticker shock" other mommies are giving up new beds and furniture for these cameras ("The thing can take 7 pictures a second!"). We'll see what we can afford this summer when my wife has a birthday. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
