I'm jealous. Of someone.

She just told her parents "I want a camera" and she got a DSLR. A Canon EOS 500D. She doesn't even know the brand, the model, but yes she knows it costs one grand.

While I ask and ask for a normal, plain old digicam that probably has a terrible shutter speed (ISO).

And she doesn't even want to try to explore using different modes, like trying manual and auto, or trying to adjust ISO or even try to decipher the stuff that pops up on the screen. She didn't even glance through the manual.

She doesn't even care for the camera properly. You're supposed to cover the lens while not in use so that it doesn't scratch or get dirty. You're supposed to take care of your camera. And not leave it with someone and forget to look for her so she has to run all over looking for you.

Damn it, why does she get it when I'm the one who wants one and is willing to learn how to use it....
