My mission as of late, is to buy a new camera. I'm just bursting with creative energy, but lack the tools to let it out in the way that I want. I have a nice Canon point & shoot that serves me quite well for average, day to day photography. But I just really want to take some good, quality photos. I want people to say "Wow" when they look at a picture I've taken. Something along the lines of my reaction when I saw this and this.

I'm eyeing myself a nice Digital SLR, but am pondering how to aquire one without having to eat Top Ramen for the rest of the year. This beauty is the Canon Digital Rebel. It exactly what I want for my purposes right now, but he's looking to set me back $800+.

Camera #2 is the Nikon D40. Significantly cheaper, but has one major drawback. If I want to use the wonder that is auto-focus, I have to purchase a certain type of lens with the auto-focus motor built in. It is an unexplained mystery as to why they didn't put that part into the actual camera. I'll just have to wonder.
So, dilema. Do I spring for the one I really want even though it has quite the price tag? Or go with the cheaper version and worry about hunting down the right kind of lens, which possibly could end up making my total about the same?
I don't know. I'm waiting for divine inspiration to deliver one to my doorstep.

Personally I'd spring for the Canon, after all your parents won't let you starve! And there's nothing worse than spending a whole bunch of money anyway and not ending up with what you really wanted.
