Payday Loans and Keeping my Camera

So I bought this great digital camera a few months ago – an Olympus E-620.
I love the camera: 12.3 megapixels, image stabilization, a tilt and swivel LCD screen. I paid $550 for the camera, on sale at one of the big electronics stores. The store offered me a pretty decent payment plan it seemed like at the time.
Now $550 is a lot on my budget, but the camera was worth it to me because of its features – things like Shadow Adjustment Technology, Art Filters, a Multiple Exposure mode, the choice of four different aspect ratios. In the last few months I've made a fair amount of cash taking pictures – weddings, birthday parties, or family events like that. But I really enjoy putting shots I've taken on the websites I contribute to.
Unfortunately, I fell behind on the payment plan and the next thing I know the store wanted to send someone to repossess the camera. I've heart of repossessing a car, but a camera? I ended up getting a couple of payday loans to catch up on my payments, then working a couple of extra weekend to pay off those loans.
