There were people all around, but I didn't care. I had to touch it. I wanted to know how good it would feel. It was harder than I'd expected, yet still it had nice round parts, as well. So smooth, and I know the kind of power it can wield in the right set of hands. I touched it so much it made me really want to start shooting.
Yes, I touched an Canon SX40 while shopping at Target.

Pretty much. I wanted to ask the lady next to me if she had ever done it, but she saw the lust in my eye and ran off. The tighter I gripped it, the more excited I got. I started fantasizing while I touched it. I knew it would be good, but this was more than I'd expected.

Be careful. You're about one f-stop away from going blind.

My aperture is getting bigger just thinking about the SX40.
