@Jaffa - I'm a Nikon girl. What are you shooting with? I'm actually considering moving down to a 4/3 system. I've been reading reviews and studies people have done. If I take my full system into a place, I'm more likely to be harassed by security because they think I'm a professional. However, if I take a 4/3 system in (it looks like a point-and-shoot but has interchangeable lenses) they think I'm a tourist and leave me alone. People have tested this theory and it's true. Anyways, have you considered one of the newer/smaller cameras?

@McTattie - they're small because my name is watermarked across the middle of them and I don't want to share my real name on here. You can't see the watermark because it's so small.

.....errr......fujifilm.....but I am planning on an upgrade. I don't have a good lens, if I do I use my friends but he's very * and has to come with me when I use it lol, I'm just very basic at the minute. I want to upgarde to a pansonic lumix but there quite pricey and I want to make sure I get the right camera as I don't want to burn through them like I have this one. It needs to last a bit.

lol Nobody touches my cameras! I've got a Nikon D50, D60, D90 and D300s. I also have about 15 lenses with my biggest being a 500mm. Nobody touches my cameras or lenses, I would have to hurt them. I think I'm sitting at around 10K in equipment.

I still have my old Nikon 6006. The last of the solid frame that you could bludgeon wildlife with without damaging your camera. I still need to refer to the instruction manual every time I load film as the Kodak digi the wife bought has me spoiled for the simple shots I take.

Fish tanks... I once had over a dozen up and running. Waaaaaay to much work. When we bought a house I put all the tanks by windows so I could do water changes out the window. I still have way to many tanks but they are empty taking up room in my carport after a spent two friggin years making a 1500+ gallon screened turtle enclosure with three separate ponds and four fountains running off a commercial pool pump. When I run it its kinda like flushing turtles down the toilet the water circulates so fast.

Now a days I'm a stay at home dad so in my free time I try to minimize mowing my lawn by either pouring concrete walkways or setting it on fire. Planters and pavers is the way to go. The sad thing is I also grow bamboo which is technically a grass.

Oh yeah... Keeping the house from collapsing is a pretty big hobby. Right now it's termites and carpenter ants. At least that is the most pressing issue.

When I have free time I like making inanimate objects suffer. Did you know an Xbox 360 with the red ring of doom will stop a 7.72x51 NATO round lengthwise? One round anyways

Yep... Baby poop and feedings is what I do the most of. Once he's old enough to play with Legos il will be able to bust out the 500+ lbs I have in storage and it will be on.
