Do you shoot alone? Do you sneak purchases from shady camera stores? Do your friends worry about you?

"Hi everone. My name is Michael. I have a problem."

haha!! this is quality...

my problem isnt buying new stuff, its wanting it and having no money for it!

quick update... the 30D is out for delivery... should be seeing it this afternoon... and to think, like a dumbarse, I (without thinking) paid for two day shipping when B&H is right down the highway!!
Oh well, I do it all the time in the heat of the moment.. now, I cant wait to see what i'll have to "clean up" tonight when Christine sees it!
lol
I know my saturday is dedicated to a truckload of Mulch and a pitch fork!!

Please post photos of your wife right after you open up the box.

We need to help you check the IQ on the 30D

lol ok, im sure she will be "giving me the bird" too!
lol

why are women so bossy? and why do we love it?



My fiendish plan worked - I asked her what camera she would like for her B'day and she asked for a particular P+S, didn't even notice that my 20D now has a 30D label on it.. muaaahahahahah

ROFL! Classic. That was a great episode. "Fin." Heh.

well its here..weeee. and its an "03" siereal number.. (if youve been reading the "noise" thread.. Whew!
also, in came about 40 other boxes of stuff i need to do today so I gotta wait till lunch time to try it out..Booo!
I feel like giving my boss the finger right now!
Who does he think he is giving me work to do at work? doesnt he know i just got my new penis/ ahh errrr camera?
yeah thats it!

Ahh, but work is the doubled-edged sword that both enables and hinders our hobby. On one hand, it pays for our toys - on the other, we're always working instead of shooting. Unless of course you're a full time photographer...

Now that spring is in the air, it's particularly hard. We'll get through it. We have each other. LOL.

:eeek: what's the 'noise' thread?

Well I have an argument to prove to my family that I really am a rational person about my new stuff.. I show them the magazines and show them how much more expensive it could be....... If I didn't show any kind of restraint...

sari.

someone poste that the 30D's with an 04 serial# are quite noisey at ISO 100. I saw the shots and they didnt look too bad to me but who the heck am I? just some hack with a camera and over extended credit!
lol
-zacker-

here it is, the first shot...I love it so far, the shutter sounds like my elan7...lol Cant wait to read the manual and play with it (no pun intended) tonight at home!

Of course she won!! Any man deluded enough to believe he's won an argument with his wife just doesn't realize the argument is not yet over. AND.... there is always a price to pay if she thinks that you think you DID win - she just hasn't handed you the bill yet.

Zacker, you are hands down the winner here. You got a new camera and all you had to hear was a wise crack about your manhood and clean your desk. Hell, Sunday I told my wife that I wasn't going to play golf, then I ended up playing (just 18 holes and $30 not a new 30D and $1,400 like you) and I am cutoff for at least a week and had to sweep and mop the floors. Good job, bro.
