Camera Hell

No picture details tonight, even though Friday Night Flash did meet. Instead, I'd like to offer some advice.

The next time you buy an expensive dSLR camera, spend a bit more and buy an extended warranty for it. My D2x spit the bit tonight, but I have an extended warranty for it so I'm not really sweating it too much - aside from the aggravation.

Listen, if you're shooting a high end dSLR as I am, you've probably spent the equivalent of what is in Fort Knox. I know I did. (Of course, understanding our government, there's probably nothing left in Ft. Knox. But I digress.)

Yes, I've heard the arguments against purchasing the optional warranties. Most of the time I believe they are a waste of money, but there are times when they're worth it.

When you pay more for a camera than you do for a car, I'd say that counts as one of those times.

Right now, my extended warranty is worth every penny I paid for it.
