Recently I bought my wife, Megan, a Canon SD400 Elph. Super compact 5Mp point and shoot. I was pretty jealous, not only because of how amazingly small it was, but also because it had almost twice the number of pixels as my current digital SLR - a Canon D30. I really like my D30, it takes great pictures, has a solid prosumer body. However the lust for new gadgets can't be quenched with logic.

I waffled a great deal between the D20 and 350D (Rebel XT). They both have the same sensor, really the D20 is just a prosumer version of the consumer Rebel XT. The D20 is faster, more heavy duty, and larger. I loved the feel of the D20, but alas I let logic creep in a little and the $500 price difference got me to go with the Rebel. Now I can spend the extra $500 on a big lense :)

We are heading for a vacation in Italy, so I hope to put the camera to a lot of good use. Of course, that also means my blog postings will even be more sparse then they have been.
