So, as I mentioned, all of my camera equipment (and some that wasn't mine) was stolen. Clearly this presents a problem to someone such as myself who enjoys taking pictures. Currently I'm borrowing my mom's camera, which is, nicely enough, identical to mine except it freezes less often (that is, never, unlike my old one's occasional habit). Once my finances are more stable, either from insurance money or my summer job, I'll be procuring a new digital SLR. The one I'm currently looking at is the Canon Digital Rebel T1i. The Canon page about it is here.
I've also given thought to lenses I want to get, such as a wide-angle or fisheye lense and a high-zoom macro lense, but I haven't decided anything yet, mainly because lenses are very expensive and the marginal benefit is so much smaller than the body (that is, without a nice lense I can still take good pictures, it just takes a bit more work, but without a camera body, a lense doesn't do much good, and the body does come with an okay 18-55 lense).
Anyway, I'll post more once more is determined.

General photography update
So, a general update on my post from March 3rd. Still just the three cameras, despite the temptation of picking up another one at a shop in Hanoi with a case of old SLRs. Film count:
Rolls shot, by camera:
(The number is the ISO, C=color, G=b&w.)
Rebel X: 400C, 800C, 400C, 200C, 200C, 800C, 400C, Velvia 50, 200C, 400C, 400C, 800C (current roll)
Nikomat: 400C, 400G, 1600G (current roll)
Remaining (not counting the rolls in cameras):
1 roll of 24-exp Fujicolor 200
4 rolls of 24-exp Fujifilm Superia 400
3 rolls of 24-exp Fujifilm Superia 800
3 rolls of 36-exp Kodak Tri-X 400 (B&W)
1 roll of 36-exp Fujifilm Neopan 1600 (B&W)
2 rolls of 36-exp Kodak T-MAX P3200 (B&W)
And, so far, I have shot a little over 4,000 pictures with the XTi.
