Well our first (well, one of our first) major decisions about Africa is made…I finally decided on a camera to bring! I bought a sub-compact almost SLR last year, but have just not been happy with it. On the other hand, we are trying to be super-frugal so that we are in the best position possible prior to our departure, so that our line of credit doesn’t start taking too much of a beating too early!
At any rate, after much debate and with much support from Cin, I purchased my first digital SLR – the Sony A100 – mainly it made the finals due to its compatibility with my old lenses from my non-digital Minolta….so we will see how it works out. So far, I am pretty happy, but still need to work on portrait capabilities with it as I haven’t been all that happy with those.
In other news, we finally sub-letted our condo here and have to be out by January 6th! Now that we actually have to pack and move, this trip seems so much more tangible….but I am (almost) too busy to worry at this point – here’s to jumping straight in!
In addition, wrapping things up at work seems nigh-on impossible, but I guess it will all get done (since it has to)!
