Quit your day job. Go on. I dare you.

Sometimes I think it’s just too easy to buy stuff on the internet these days. I managed to accidentally buy a new camera yesterday.

I’d been shopping for a new camera before Christmas and fount the one I wanted on Amazon, a Fujifilm Finepix S5200. I decided not to buy it at the time and wait till I was feeling a little more flush and then kind of forgot about it.

So then I had to buy a book yesterday. I wasn’t concentrating, and using amazon.fr (which is obviously in French). I just searched for the book, clicked ‘buy’ and kept on hitting ‘ok’ until I got through the checkout process – I didn’t even need to put my credit card details in because they were saved from last time.

It wasn’t until I got the confirmation email a bit later on that I realised that the camera I’d looked at before Christmas was still in the basket and I’d just bought it for EUR 220. I really didn’t mean to do that. It was my French credit card linked to my French account too, and that doesn’t have much money in it right now. I even got a phone call from my lovely bank manager Beatrice to tell me off for going over my overdraft limit.

Still. What’s done is done & it is a nice camera. I’m looking forward to using it. I take a lot of photos, but always with crappy cameras. I wonder how a decent camera will affect my photography.
