Get a digital camera with a LCD viewfinder or a SLR (single-lens reflex) camera and you'll never have the finger/strap in front of the lens problem again - you'd see it directly if it happened.

And you're right about guns, of course, but I have all too many expensive obsessions without adding another. So I'll stick to cameras, although my Canon XL1 does look like a nice little artillery piece [see it on the left] come to think of it :-).

I do have a non waterproof SLR but the camera that goes anyplace has a waterproof housing and is not SLR. So many toys so few $.

You don't regard a concern for your own life a worthy 'obsession'? You life has that little value? The other things are just toys. Your life isn't a toy. There's no moral equivalence here.

Check you premises. Then check your priorities.
