Which is itself a bit unusual for me, as I don't tend to, or if I do, I don't remeber them in the morning.
Iwas there with me s9600, taking some photos at a wedding. Somehow the camera started to disintegrate in my hand, leaving me holding the zoom ring in one hand, the rest of the camera in the other. At first I was mad, but then thought "great" as it has cost me £180 recently, I thought I could send it back for a refund, and then get a used DSLR.
No problem, I thought, I go into the nearest town and buy a replacement inbetween the service and the reception. Went to the first camera shop, and they were closing down, and didn't have anything, even used, for less than a grand for a body, although a 300mm zoom was £95 on a Nikon Fit.
I then went to the other camera shop round the corner, and they were in the same boat. Even worse, I couldn't remember where Jessops was as a final backup to get a new camera to take more photos at the wedding......
Then one of the Kids (who are both ill, puking and everything this morning) woke me up, so I don't know what I ended up getting as a replacement.
The thing is, I only recall looking at Nikon bodies and lenses. So does this me I fantasise about having a Nikon, even though I can't afford one? Or does it mean I want a Canon, cos it was a bit of a nightmarish dream, and a Canon may have saved the day....................
Having woken up, the Fuji still works, and the bank say there is not enough cash for a DSLR, and I have no idea who was getting married.
Anyone got any idea what it all means?
