I recently got a really slick digital SLR camera - Nikon D90. Prior to that I was using this Canon Powershot - nice little pocket camera - if you're a noob. I've had the pocket camera for 4 years and it always made great pictures. But now that I know the power of the Digital SLR and lenses that cost more than my annual life insurance premium, I'm kind of unhappy with the Canon.

I'm going to return it.

Still trying to figure out how to fit the 70-300 VR lens in my pocket. It's so freaking heavy, too. Why is that? Are they idiots at Nikon, making a fricking lens weigh 3 pounds?
