Readers of my blog will know how I've been crying for a digital camera since I started my e-trading two years ago. When I first started, I bought an unbranded second hand digicam from a friend of mine.
He showed me a few shots that he claimed were taken with this camera and they were all very good and sharp. The colors were clear too.
A pink thong turned out grey in the photos! A purple shirt turned out blue! How am I going sell my products then? As an e-trader, the only way for me to market my merchandise is to present an item as accurately as possible but with this camera, I couldn't do that and I know I lost the majority of my sales because of this.

So I thought he was so kind to sell it to me, but I was so disappointed with the quality of the

Now the camera is in semi-retirement while I keep asking people to loan me theirs. There was once when one of my potential buyers requested for more images of a particular item. It was late at night and I did not have a good camera on hand, so I told him that the images will only be available the following day. Naturally, the guy was no longer interested in the item anymore.
I don't feel good when people ask me if I am too poor to afford my own, or if I am too stingy to get one. They don't know shit about the situation. How can I tell them that I already used up my budget on a lousy digicam?
