i've always justified my purchases by thinking of my son. capturing the best shots of him that i can. it's worked out so far. my wife and i are happy with the pictures we have. and, my son is always happy to smile for one more.

You know, I didn't buy when my kids were young...(we have a policy of waiting til we can afford something before we buy...that included our house) so now they are not young and I own what I have....and I WISH I had tons of photos of them when they were young. I have some and they are cheap (throw away camera type)....so there's both sides of the fence. On one side, I have no debt...on another, no fantastic memory shots either. Guess there's pluses and minuses to both....

I absolutely agree with capturing great images of my children (or at least as great as I can...). I think however that I would need to be realistic about the difference an F 2.8 vs F4 lens would make in that capture and whether that difference is worth 1500 USD.

Okay, Dante, he's made amends. Put him back on the list of invitees to the grand opening of Bubbas II.:)
