shopping

so I go back to Wal-Mart with Cath and got her to buy the same printer...but they had a canon with all the stuff, 2 cartridges, total for $30, I got that one, a black model...and gave my printer to Cath for $30, WITH the wires and extra cartridge...and now she finally broke down and has a printer she likes, small and simple.
Is that weird or what? the Canon had all the wires and cartridges for $30...
now I am thinking of getting a better camera...sick and tired of those small ones, where you can't see what you are doing and I want manual focus control...and I think even the Nikon D40 has it.
I think it is available for $449...so I got to Target and they priced at, get this, $695!! so I tell the guy that is a mistake for sure...and he checks on the computer and he says, No, that is the price...fucked up.
Best Buy wants $495....
so it goes...
I want a normal camera with a viewfinder, manual focus etc...and big enough so I can see the controls, not the small ones that are designed for Mickey Mouse with tiny paws...

The Samsung I have is nice, a jewel actually, but a jewel is something you wear no take pictures with...the results are great, but it is touch and go, literally.
I mean I used to do photos professionally and used Nikons all over the place, still have them, loaded with film.
Of course Nikon has gone psychotic with models up to $8000. Only guys working for the New York Times can afford to get one, it is free from the company to use. And to say nothing about lenses, which cost a mint as well.

Cheaper on ink but you won't get as good a print. You should look into ripping the guts out and making your own Piezzo printer for photographs. Plenty of info online.

I gave the printer to the cleaning guy in the building, he was thrilled.
