Everybody needs a reality check once in a while

I've been recently having second thoughts about my Canon Powershot SX10 IS which I purchased recently. Apparently if I looked hard enough online, I could get a DSLR 450D for just a bit more cash added to that pool i had to get a camera.

But then I started thinking and checking the specs of a basic model.

It doesn't have the zoom that I wanted.
It didn't have the barrel distortion for macro that I was hoping to get.
It couldn't record movies (Even though it sucks, it helps a lot especially since I make short clips from time to time for the Spinworkx blog)

The only thing I really wanted from the the 450D was the capability to shoot better in low light. Plus richer more focused shots.

I then figured, if I wanted to re-achieve those same functions that I wanted in my SX10, I'd need to spend a load of cash on my DSLR, then it would definitely hit above the $1000 mark...probably...$1400?

So I took a look back at my pictures and started thinking...
Sometimes its looking back at some of the pictures you took that make you realize u made the right choice.

I think I did. =)

Guess I'll wait till I get a JOB then start saving up for a DSLR...then again by then dunno if i have the time to commit to taking photos.

Pfffft the irony.
