Sooooooooooo,

Question of the day, how do you pass the time until your next toys arrive?

Do you obsess about it constantly...... does it intrude on your everyday thoughts and dreams.......
Do you imagine using it and envision the sort of shots that you'll take with it?
Constantly flipping through Canon Catalogues and reading every article remotely related to your impending purchases?

For myself, I'm all of the above....

Purchasing my first Dslr this month and i'm going absolutely crazy waiting to have it in my hands.
I've got a whole slew of gratuitous self-portraits with myself and the camera all planned out.

Lol so for now these pics must suffice :confused:
Lol, someone save me!

Hahah, good point.......
But lol i've already downloaded the manual and gone through it a bit...

I have a copy of Canon One magazine 2006/2007 edition here, skim through it on occasion.
I have a shot in it on pg. 62.

No ducks around here i'm afraid :o!

I play with my other toys. Lately though all I get are smaller things as I cannot think what I want at this time. I do want a longer lens, but cannot decide. Canon 600? Sigmonster? What to get, what to get?

I don’t know what warranty is like in Jamaica but here in Canberra, Australia I waited 12 weeks to get my Canon 20D back. So I feel your pain.:evil:
