I really want an SSD to make my computer faster, but I refuse to settle for less than 320GB. I know that one of that size is at least $600, and I might even want more space. I know I could get a Seagate Momentus for a lot less money with 500GB, but if I do that I think I'd be compromising on speed? I have a 2.66GHz MacBook Pro 13". How much would either of those drives help my speed, and I mainly use iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, Pixelmator, Acorn, The Sims 3, and I will be getting Dreamweaver soon. Is it worth the money?
My next option would be a new camera. I bought a Canon SD780IS a couple of years ago, and it is an AMAZING camera, but I think I want to move to a more advanced camera, without going full DSLR. Is a new one coming out soon? Is it not a worthwhile purchase with my current camera? Is it the wrong camera to get? I need opinions!
The next option for me would be a cinema display, which is the least of my wants right now, but I want it so bad! And I think it could increase my workflow. But I am really not thinking this is worthwhile, unless you guys think so...
I hope you all can help!
Question about
So I just finished building a website and I'm going to get payed roughly $1000 and I am not sure what to spend it on.
If you go with the display, the apple refurb store has it for $200 off.

For your computer, I think the SSD would make a difference but not as big a difference as adding more RAM which is WAY cheaper. I just went from 4GB to 12GB in my machine and my multitasking abilities really increased.
As far as the camera goes, I think you'd be pretty happy with a Canon S95 (gdgt.com/canon/powershot/s95/). It has more advanced features like full manual control and much better low light imaging, but it keeps the compact size.
The price of a Cinema display isn't worth it to me. You can get a monitor that is bigger, higher resolution, has better color reproduction, and has a faster response time for cheaper than a Cinema. Of course the pseudo proprietary connections on the Macbook Pros make it more convenient to go with a Cinema, but I'd say a $29 adapter and a different monitor would be a better buy.
