Okay, so this is how you do it.
To get a digital camera to serve your needs and much, much more, you wait down a quiet and/or dark alley that's frequented by members of the rich and famous set - you know, like movie stars and the like - and when a member of the paparazzi jumps out to snap a few pics of the poor unsuspecting star, you mug the 'pap' guy and take his camera. Not only do you get a high quality camera that does all you want and more, the star is going to be eternally grateful and reward you for your bravery.... for keeping the 'pap' guy out of his/her face.
Who knows, with the right mask and 'underwear on the outside' costume, you could become a superhero to the stars and make a career out of it.
Oh, and don't feel guilty about it, either. Just take a look at the depraved and underhanded steps those sneaky bastards will go to to snap a pic of some poor celebrity's bare bum... or their boobies after an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
Nah, I say go for it, girl... just don't become one of them [a 'pap] because you've got a decent camera.
However, if you do, and you get some snaps of celebrity boobies, you should probably send them to me so's I can ascertain whether or not they're suitable for printing.
