Well, I bit the bullet and bought myself a digital camera (Sony S40) today. Main reason for urgency is the upcoming trip to Nice (followed by trips to Stockholm and Portugal later in the summer) and the desire to start maintaining a photo blog. Inspiration for doing this is from Soumya (see www.soumya.org) who has created a beautiful photoblog site - I highly reccommend it.
Look forward to more pictures and travel blogging here :-)
