Question People!!! What to get? Silkroad or Canon SLR?

Hey guys, I just have one quick question.

I want to know what I should get. I used to play SRO a lot and quit over a year ago. Now I'm tempted to play again and purchase silk. Last time I played SRO I spent over $500.00 in silk and got nowhere close to cap lvl not even lvl 64! Probably because I was still deciding which build to make and ended up making 3 lvl 45 nukers (sword, bow, and spear), 2 lvl 58 archers (pure and hybird str).

That's why I spent soo much in silk but never really achieved anything cuz I couldn't decide which char to keep.

However, now I know what character to make and stick to a pure str archer. I do want to ask you a question. I will probably end up spending over $500.00 in silk again if I play SRO and get to lvl 80 or 90. Probably more silk to get to lvl 90. But.... I think there are better ways to spend my money.

I currently own a Sony Digital Camera 5 MegaPixel, its nice, small and takes great quality pics. However, I am in college and my family is back home where I also have a little sister and my parents would like to take pictures of her while she is growing up. I want to give them my camera but then I won't have a camera for myself? I do have an iPhone which takes photos but not very great quality. I like to take pictures a lot, but not lately cuz I don't look very professional with a Sony 5MP Camera.

So currently I am looking at the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi 10.1 MP
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... pe=product

It cost $699.99 and I know it will be very well worth it as I will be using it a lot. It doesn't make me look stupid trying to take pictures of random stuff around campus because it makes me look like an actual digital photographer :D
This also will give me more reason to be outside and take photos of random stuff hehe :D

So what do you guys think?

Spend the money on SRO and enjoy playing the game? Or buy the Digital SLR Camera and give my other camera to my parents?

Users have complained about the image. That YOU don't think there is anything wrong with the image doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with the image. Accept other opinions.

What is wrong with you people? Kid, buy the Canon. There is much more to life than a silly game that could take away your fun from life. Pursue you career as a photographer and with that Canon....you'd probably be a kick ass photographer.
Buy the Canon. Spending so much money on a game that's not real or is not going to help your future, is nonsense.
