Camera geeks in the audience will be thrilled to learn that I acquired a Nikon D50 (Nikon's entry-level digital SLR offering), complete with a pair of lenses (18mm-55mm, 55mm-200mm). I've been lusting after digital SLRs for a long time; I'm pleased to have finally gotten my hands on one. (I'm justifying it because I be making considerably more money at my new job, enough to fund the camera with minimal effort. And so I can have a sexy camera to take to London, and anywhere else I end up.)

So far, I've used only the point-and-shoot full-auto mode; I'm working my way through the manual so I'll know how to use the partial- and full-manual modes when I need them.
