Nice marmot with a nice camera. Prolly pining for a 5D tho…

I was thinking of you over the past few days as I decided to buy a new camera. I’d really love to have a DSLR, but can’t justify the expense, so I was seesawing between one of those “bridge” cameras with a super zoom.

I finally narrowed it down to a choice between the Nikon L820 and the slightly more advanced (and more expensive) P520. I ended up going for the L820 as part of a bundle because at $210 (tax included, free shipping) the deal was just too good to pass up. Also it uses AA batteries, which is a big plus in my book.

Anyway, the UPS guy just delivered it about 10 minutes ago, so EEEEK! ;-)

P.S. If I was going to splurge on an entry-level DSLR, it probably would’ve been the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, but the new iPad Minis are coming out this month…
