Ravenous Pigeon Digest

So I`ve been looking on Ebay for a while now for a new camera. A new used camera I mean. I`d been hoping to buy a completely new camera seeing as how I think I`ve sort of outgrown then A80 I bought while I was in Kobe. But something that has the good stuff from an SLR, without having to lug around a huge brick and worry about dust on the sensor would be nice. When the Canon G7 was released before Christmas I thought that would be the one to get, only to find out it was missing the twisty screen (handy little feature, that) and RAW. And I just don`t want to pay so much for a feckin camera. So after much searching it seems that companies aren`t making these types of cameras anymore. So feck that, to Ebay I went..

..and decided I wanted the Nikon 8400...lots of features, twisty screen, but it was never sold here you can`t buy the feckin thing new anywhere. Then I see one on Ebay that will deliver to Ireland..and the price is good..the deadline expires at 2am, and of course I fall asleep before I can put in the winning bid. So the next day I`m lucky to see one again. Slightly more expensive already, but I deserve that for sleeping during the last bid. This time I vow to stay awake until the 2am deadline. And what did I do? I feckin fell asleep again!!
