As for cameras, I still think I can accomplish a lot more with a 35mm film, mid-range Canon SLR with a 50 or 100mm lens than I can with a digital camera that supposedly emulates most of the functionality (shutter speed, aperature, etc).

I wouldn't be overzealous with the prizes either. Imagine someone taking first and opting for both animated avatar and sig, then going for a Porygon treatment on both...
