revchrisI just ordered a new camera.
I had been thinking about a Canon Digital Rebel, but decided instead to save some money for power tools, and ordered a CoolPix 5700 instead (5.1MP instead of 6, but also $450 instead of $900).
I can't really say I needed a new camera, but it's been stuck in my brain for a while, and, for some reason, today was a good day to buy one. Also, I really couldn't justify the cost of the Rebel, even to myself - I just don't take that many pictures.
I ordered it from Butterfly Photo (they had good ratings from BizRate, and were listed as an affiliated store with DPReview). I also ordered it with Butterfly's recommended accessory package, which includes a second battery and a 340MB microdrive (the camera comes with a 16MB CF card also, which holds ~5-10 pictures).
