Camera

First of all: thank you all for your reactions! It's nice to know people are actually visiting and reading my blog ;)

In answer to your questions: I'm still not sure which camera I'm getting. I would love to get a semi-professional camera, but since I tend to drop my camera a lot, that's not a good idea... On top of that, I couldn't afford it anyway (I'm already saving money to go to London and New York, so I can't afford to make big expenses right now) and I don't think my parents are willing to spend that much on a camera for me.

But there's this pretty cheap store in Belgium that sell different things every week (Aldi, voor mijn lieve landgenootjes). They sell electronics every now and then and I've always heard that the quality of those electronics is pretty good. Funny enough, they're selling cameras next week (the brand is called Medion) including 2GB memory card, carrying bag (which I've also wanted for a while) and 2 batteries. I asked my dad if he wanted to check the internet tomorrow to see if it's a good camera, he knows more about that stuff than I do.
Of course, even if I get this one for my birthday, there's a pretty good chance they're gonna make me wait to open the box until my birthday. We'll see.

UPDATE: my dad just took a look at the information about the camera on the internet, looks good to him, so I'll probably get that one.
It's the Medion MD 86276.
