Spending spree!

On Saturday, after troubleshooting a loud grinding/spinning noise coming from my PC, I decided to buy an external hard drive to use as a backup drive for my PC. So, a visit to Amazon.com was in order! After much research on Google, I ordered an external drive - and two wanna-have items!

Then on Sunday, I spent about 4 hours online researching digital cameras. I want one I can easily carry around in my purse. I again talked myself out of buying a SLR-type digital camera (the Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)) that I can use with my Nikon lenses - I'm just not sure I would use it enough to justify the price ($1800). And, I'm not even sure the almost 10-year-old Nikon lenses I have are fully compatible with a digital camera. So, I compromised by deciding to buy a second new camera to replace my almost 6-year-old Fujifilm FinePix 2800Zoom 2.0mp 6x optical zoom camera. I'm still happy with my FinePix camera, but the new camera have so many more features I want to play with! So, I ordered:

The carry around camera: Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom, and Canon PSC-85 Deluxe Soft Case, and Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card
The replacement camera: Canon PowerShot SX100 IS 8.0 Megapixel Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom kit with Transcend 4GB SecureDigital (SDHC) Card + USB 2.0 SecureDigital (SD) Card Reader + (4) AA Rechargeable Batteries with Charger + Digital Camera Case

How exciting! I'll hopefully have the A570IS camera before December 27 when I visit my son!
