After thinking it over, I decided to purchase just the Canon G9 and not the Flip Video. I would have loved to buy both like originally planned, but I figured the video capture on this new point and shoot would suffice for now. I'll purchase the Flip when I feel the real need to. Besides, I needed to budget for accessories for the G9! :P

But anyway, I'm so excited! My new camera should be coming in in a few days. This will be a great addition to my Canon "collection" :P B calls himself a Canonite, but I joke that I'm more of a Canonite than he is! Hehe... I've bought 2 printers and 5 cameras all Canon, my favorite being my XTi (but maybe now my G9, too!). I don't use my Rebel XTi much mainly because of its bulkiness and other than the standard lens it comes with, I only have a macro lens that B bought me and nothing else. He has his own set of wide angle and portrait lenses for his own Rebel XT, but I'd rather have my own set :) I know I need to put it to good use but I lack inspiration and time. I don't even use my Holga much at all :( The G9 will be much easier to carry around and use when inspiration strikes! I can't wait to use it. B also reminded me about girlrobot's post about CHDK (Canon Hacker's Development Kit). I'm going to have to experiment with this!
