Delusional said: wow kwaad, u sure have a lot of expensive stuff. big tvs, ps3s, and expensive cameras (well, i kno there are people with even more expensive stuff in the forum). seems like you can just buy and buy. sigh. i earn a decent salary and i still feel too poor to buy anything.
Get a cheaper mortgage. That's how I do it. 400$/month in a place where the average house is over 100,000$. (I own) Helps alot. That's 200$/less than most people I know. add in some other nice money saveing tactics. And you are living on less than 800$/month... making close to 2,000. :P Add the bill on my TV... I'm still well under 1000$. I call it the. "I dont take loans untill I cant pay them off." theory.

Welcome to SF Bay area median housing prices. Look it up. I'm currently in a 400k condo.

I almost bought one, it's just a GBA with a Famicom color scheme. It's the Japanese equivalent of the NES-themed GBA, I got a black one instead originally. I do now have an NES-themed model, interestingly enough. I gave the Japanese GBA to a friend.

Granted, it's more expensive and I don't shoot much in the way of sports or nature so this isn't my forte. I find flickr to be good enough, and I really don't feel like paying for an image hoster like smug mug. BTW, I had no clue that google offered image hosting.

The 170-500 has a much larger lens. I think it's something like 70mm. The 50-500 is more like a 55mm. That makes a HUGE difference for clarity. (I like the 170-500 better than the 50-500 for images)

La HD c'est la Haute Définition.
C'est à dire que c'est pareil que la basse définition sauf que c'est en plus élevé.
En fait au final je crois que c'est une histoire de petits points appelés pixels qui sont, d'après ce que j'ai entendu dire dans les milieux autorisé, plus nombreux pour la HD; mais pour tout vous avouer j'ai pas été vérifié, je les ai pas compté (j'ai pas eu le courage d'aller jusqu'au bout).
