Yeah I just ordered my Christmas present, my digital camera. :eek:

I shouldn’t have because somewhere the money has dwindled in between us being us and paying bills. So I really don’t have all my Christmas money anymore. Plus I am too impatient to wait for two weeks to find out if S was approved for the Amazon credit card to save another $30. So I just went with it.

I got this one: Fujifilm A340 4MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom & Finepix CP-FXA10 Cradle.

I’ve never bought anything that large from Amazon before, only two books on two separate orders. But I bought it from there for a few reasons:
1. It was marked down from $249.95 to $176.45
2. I don’t have to pay shipping
3. I get a free 32 MB storage card
4. I used my Amazon Associate’s link, so I will in turn get a cut back. Not sure how much that would be, though.

I went with this camera even though it was more expensive than the others I was looking at because it is on the higher range, still has a pretty good rating, and comes with the cradle for transferring to the pc and charging batteries. I figure rechargeable batteries will save me a lot in the long run. And hopefully the digital camera period will save me a lot on film and developing. Now I will probably only use the 35mm for special occassions, the girls’ school photos, and anything else where I know that people are going to want lots of prints.

Yeah so in the long run I am really just adding to the credit card bill, but this is my Christmas present from Steve and my parents. He won’t be too happy when he finds out I spent more than we were talking about though. ;-)

Hopefully I’ll start selling some more candles though now that all the relatives have found out about them and then maybe I can bring some of this bill down. K for one, still owes me for 10 candles, that would be $50 if I were charging her full price… but I’m not, so it will be more like $20 probably - or whatever she says. I have transferred most of the balance from my card to one that we have together that we haven’t used in a long time, but it’s got a lower APR. And it’s got an introductory on on the transfer I did. There is still some left that I have to transfer that I wasn’t aware of when I did the first one.

Okay anyway… I am excited that I am finally getting a decent digital camera!!! :cheer:
