Ok so cameras are not the cheapest thing to buy and even more so if you want a 3ccd or a HDV.

So whats the Brand of your camera(post a link) and how much did it cost, and HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THE MONEY.


-----------------------

My camera is the Canon ZR400 Link To My Camera.
It was only 500$ becasue I bought a deplay camera but I didnt care becasue I got a 2 year waranty anyways. Or else it would have been like $650 I think


Im going to college this year but I want a 3ccd soooo fuckin bad, but I just dont think ill be able to afford it.

A job and lots of saving, selling shit, etc.

I'm also thinking about going to every fountain around here and taking all the change out of it.

edit: I'm still about $400 short of a used VX2k :(

I buy cameras from costco. By the time they break, I usually have some more money saved, so I return the cam and by a better one.

Most people are just fuckin dumb with saving money, so theyre broke and always will be broke.

an easy thing to do is to get a bank account, and when you deposit your paycheck, make sure like 50 or 100 bucks goes into a savings account. that way you won't be tempted. I'm doing that soon myself.
