I think it's time for my first DSLR.

Canon EOS 400D? 30D?

I'm so sick of my current camera crapping out when I try to get in really close to my dolls.

DSLR acquired!

Just spent $436.39 for a used Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens from amazon.com, as well as $40.39 for a CompactFlash memory card and an extra battery. It comes with a battery, battery charger, manual, lens, et hoc genus omne. Now to learn to use the damn thing...
