Boy howdy do I hear you on the afford part. I need to get a new camera. I can't get batteries for my fTb any more. :-( Hearing aid batteries *work* but they're always on, and they slow trickle down, so you can't tell if the battery is no longer adequately functional till it's too late. And they're too dad-dang expensive to put a new one every time you want to take pictures!
