Well, my current digital camera started acting up (viewfinder's off). Not urgent, but I figure that by the time I get around to replacing it, prices will come down and ... my fingers are crossed.

I've got a stereo question.
Currently, I have my turntable, speakers and discman hooked up to my dad's Denon pre-amp.
Before, I had them hooked up to my yamaha receiver.
My problem with that is that my sound from my turntable to my speakers was disappearing. My tuner no longer worked, but my discman, which I played in CD direct was fine.
Now, I have no tuner, my turntable works but when I play cds they seem to come from only one channel or the other. (This was happening when I had it set up before.)
Should I be able to hook my receiver up to the pre-amp? And could my sound problem actually be that my speaker wire is frelled? (The speaker that is getting sound was the left channel; I switched things around and now the speaker that is getting sound is the right channel.)
Thanks!
I would like to be able to listen to my records AND my cds see.
I have now re-hooked up my old receiver so that I can listen to cds. And through cd direct sound is coming from both speakers.
Argh. This is just so complicated.
A reveiew of the new digital SLR from Nikon: [link]
$750 without a lens. $900 with. They say this is a "professional" camera.
I was trying to read this review of the D50, but they used the word "evanescence" and I just can't stop rolling my eyes.
I may just be out of camera-review-reading practice.
I'm impressed with you digital-SLR-having (or -wanting) people. I'm just excited to be getting a new digital point-and-shoot with enough megapixels to make the prints look like, well, prints. Probably the Nikon 5600.
My lust just kicked up a gear when I froogled the D70 -- which can mean many things -- lots of crooks selling crap online, or the D50 will drop very low in price, or that I should just buy a D70 right now.
I should relax.
I stand behind the rationalization that a better camera will making my mediocre photography skills better. Any great picture I have taken has been an accident, or a surprise to me.

In the digital camera biz, it usually means this. I use B&H Photo and Video as a yardstick; if someone is underselling them by a large amount it's probably too good to be true.
I have a friend with a D70. It's extremely tasty.
