Should I save up to buy a new camera (digital SLR) in June, or take my husband to Prague (a surprise) now?

As well as our joint account, we allow ourselves 拢50 each per month that we don't have to account to the other for. I've saved 拢110.

The holiday is 拢160 - so do-able next month. It's somewhere he's been before and said he'd like to show me. Last year he took me to Copenhagen. I took him to Switzerland as a combined anniversary / Christmas / birthday present (LOTS of saving required!) We both love travelling.

The camera will be about 拢500. We have a digital camera, held together with sellotape. It works OK, but I'd like a new one - for taking photos of our travels! The plan was to get it in time for going to Norway next year (which we're saving for separately).

So - Prague or the posh camera?

Prague. Things have much less worth than experiences. What exactly are you taking picture of if not good experiences? Digital Slurs are over-hyped anyway - get a good compact camera as often you can't tell the differences in the pictures and the digital SLRs can result in bad pictures due to the time needed to get the most out of them.

Prague..!

New SLR. It will be frustrating to go to prague and not be able to take really good photos of it. It will be worth the wait!

You are lucky to have a man who enjoys going away on weekend breaks!! The ones I have been with are miserable swines. I would say save up for camera and holiday. Prague will still be there in a few months time! Why don't you book ahead the cheap flights then use the time in between to save up for the camera. If you can't wait then go with hubbie because nice memories in a marriage are very precious.

Prague with the posh camera, there must be a way u can pay half tour price nowadays n pay the remaining later

Oh come on,Prague without a doubt,you love him he loves you off you go ,tell him that you would like this posh camera and then maybe both of you can save for it,weekends away are generally so romantic and comforting which is something you dont get from a camera,and when you get back save a little then look on e bay,your a winner he's a winner everyones a winner!!!yeah

you buy the camera...he pay for hols.....problem solved

Save for the camera - you'll be able to enjoy it for years.
