Camera from the commercial

Thank you, Jean-Philippe, for posting the comment that you may have found the camera. I do believe that the one he found is, indeed, the camera I fell in love with on the commercial.

The discouraging news is that this camera costs about $500, not the affordable range as I had figured. I'm certainly not in $500 worth of love, so chances are I won't be buying this thing. For that kind of money, I want to see Steven Tyler just like the ladies in the commercial did. I don't know why I had estimated it so cheaply; after all, why would Sony spend all that money to promote their low-end camera? The good news is that Wayne said today that I can use his sometimes. Since "sometimes" is all I really need to spend with a camera in tow, this plan works out for me.

Result: I'm giving up on wanting a camera for now. I've gone through this with laptops, too, and still don't have one. Maybe next I'll focus my futile attentions on XM Radio.

  • how crazy is this, I was looking for XM radio yesterday, and was just discouraged by the $10 monthly plan u have to take. I thought the receiver itself was expensive enough....

  • I'm sure that I'm underestimating the real long-term costs of having XM. Even if it's for a service (rather than a piece of hardware) it's hard to know how justifiable the cost is before I buy it and use it. Retrospectively, I now know that the fees I pay monthly for my cell phone are worth the cost - I didn't know that they would be the first time I got one. Perhaps I'd get just as attached to XM.
