How do I make myself convinced that I don't need another camera, no matter how pretty it is?
Was just looking around in the online version of a local camera/computer store... getting a blower (hoping to finally get rid of the annoying spot of dust on the DSLR sensor) and a cheap (but hopefully not too horrid) pair of speakers for mum's computer, as her old ones were integrated to the old monitor and thus got rid of when I got her the new LCD monitor. And I still needed something else to buy if I wanted to avoid postage (if the amount exceeds a certain limit, postage is free).
So I spent half an hour looking at various pocket cameras, especially the Pentax Optio A30. *sighs* It's a damn pretty little thing, and the Optio A series should have good image quality (on the other hand, they're not the fastest cameras around and as useless in low light as most other pocket cameras - but that's what the DSLR and the Fuji are for, anyway), and I am a hopeless Pentax fangirl... but I finally managed to persuade myself that no, I don't actually need another camera at this point. Not when I hardly use the Optio W10, even though it's almost always with me, and when the Panasonic FZ-5 is gathering dust somewhere.
Then I spent another half an hour considering getting another lens... it's just that both of lenses I still realistically "need" (even though "need" is a very relative issue) are 8500+ kr / € 540-600 each and I had pretty much decided to wait a few months at least until getting them. And then I finally came to the decision that maybe, just maybe, I shouldn't actually be getting a 4000 kr camera or a 8500 kr lens right now just to save 29 kr on postage.
This should not have been such a hard decision. *weeps*
