I am so bummed!

I was suppose to get my digital camera back in June, and I still don't have it
I need to just buy a couple disposable camera's and snap a bunch of pictures of Rocky and Fluffy...I am so jealous of you all who get to post pictures or your kitties.....soon...It will be soon, hopefully!

You get one soon enough Kathy! I kinda wish I would have waited a bit longer before I got this one. The pic's are just not that good, but I'm still trying to master it though!

Just don't buy a camera out of impulse...make sure you take the time and find a good one.

A guess those cheap disposible ones will do for now, eh? I'd love to see more pic's of Rock and Fluff!

Was your digital camera beeing repeared? (Since you were to get it "back", maybe I have been missing something)

I want a digital camera so bad...we are thinking about buying one, they are so terribly expensive here (maybe $ 1000 or more).
When I get one, I am so gonna take pictures of my girls.

I guess I needed to rephrase that ..I was suppose to get a digital camera in June which was the month of my birthday...I used the word "back" meaning past tense, back in June..not getting it back.. make sense now?

Aww, I'm sorry! My camera is "wounded in action," too. I know how you feel!

Oh Kathy! I'd love for you to get a DC I just love R & F, Look forward to seeing more pics of them.

I got one for March and it went down in May I just got it repaired and have taken over 800 pics of my animals already and it's only been a week

Good Luck!

Yes if does!

Pollyanna - a $1000 does sound high for a digital camera. Some of them are that expensive, but these are more of the top of the line models. Have you priced them online from U.S. sources and have it shipped to you in Iceland? I typically will find what I want in a store then surf online for better prices.

Perhaps you just have champagne tastes for digital cameras. Ignore me if you thought of this already.

I am thinking of looking for one at ebay..hopefully I can find a decent one through there...

I know I can get a digital camera for less, but I think, since I´m gonna buy one, I want to do it properly, buy a camera that´s more than just "enough", so I can enlarge photos with quality, take photos up close with quality etc...

Still, not matter which one I would choose, it seem so be half price in the US compared to Iceland.

The camera I´m thinking about is Canon ixus 400 (4,0 MP), with a case and a memory card it costs about $ 1,070 in Iceland.

Another one Canon G5 (and now I´m beeing greedy, but it would still be fun to have it...) costs $ 1,650 in Iceland (without a case or anything else)

I have seen them both on ebay for half these prices or less!
But that´s the punishment for living on an island! I can order through ebay, but I still have to pay a pile of taxes to get it.
For less expensive things I can always let people buy for me and send it to me as "gifts", but if is marked from a shop (like Amazone.com) there´s no escaping from all the taxes. I was even supposed to pay tax of the book I won in the July contest, since the parcel looked like it came from a bookstore. I had to send the winning notification e-mail, and a link to the contest to profe it and the taxes were dropped. But the "gift" trick is used a lot.
For more expensive things like cameras, or strollers (I am looking for one on e-bay) I can either buy on e-bay or someone buys for me, and then I have a friend who is a flight atendant, and she could take it home for me!

Wow, sorry for rambling on...
