What do you want for Christmas?

[LinuxFanBoi]

If there where one gadget you could have this holiday season what would it be?

Personally, I'm buying a New Toshiba laptop for my Christmas gift to myself. :D Need something I can take to school with me next semester.

Your camera is to photography what vinyl is to music!

[sports fan Matt]

To be honest, all I want is the chance to move into a bigger place. Kind of cramped around here. The only other thing I'd want is a printer.

Indeed, and being a medium format it's supposed to give far better results than most current digital cameras, at least in some specific uses.

Thats more down to the photographer than the camera. Any camera can take great shots, not all photographers can. Some of the shots I've seen recently at an exhibition were taken on Holga's. Depends on what effect you are trying to achieve as well.

[ice60]

i want a fully stocked harem.

[lotharmat]

Something simple.

Sansa Fuze 8GB...

[osel091@yahoo.com]

A whole set of Original Iron Maiden Cd's ! :KS

[Exodist]

I would love to get a few of these:

i don't want anything from anybody for Christmas. i'm not a kid anymore, so Christmas could be every day for me (materialistic-wise). i suggest to my friends and fam to buy a present for a child from a low income family or orphanage.

[RaZe42]

A versatile tripod good for low-level shooting. A ring flash for macro(twin flash would be nice but way too expensive :( )

A Nokia N900.

Yeah... I know I can't get it all.

[mamamia88]

already know what i am getting samsung netbook

[whiskeylover]

A small island.

[Dirtpile]

An LE6940.

But I'd settle for a working printer and a Gameshark 2.

[Psumi]

I've changed my mind:

160GB iPod Classic

I probably need it. :P

[Warpnow]

A dingoo. Its a handheld device that emulates old consoles. NES/SNES/Genesis/Atari, and like alot more. Its only like $80, and it runs linux.

[blueshiftoverwatch]

I don't really want anything. But I told my parents that if they're going to get me anything I want another 1TB hard drive so I can setup RAID0.

Pretty much my situation. I asked for my family to take all my old books and clothing to the library and donation center downtown.

I've had 18 Christmases full of presents... it's time to calm down a bit.

... but I did ask for a coffee mug ...

I didn't bring this up because we're supposed to be dependent on others to buy us our gadgets. This is the time of year I buy gadgets for myself.

No we're not 12 years old anymore. I'm 30 years old, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna grow up any time soon. No kids and a job that pays me $52,000 a year and I only have to work 3 days a week. Going to college payed for by Post 9/11 GI Bill = no worries.

Yeah I got a long way to go before I have to grow up. Now, gadgets!

[Frak]

To see the people around me happy. I can get anything material, but the former brings me more joy. Soup Kitchen HO HO HO!

[plusnplus]

I wish:
all business in the world in 5 or 6 days/ week.
mean sunday or public holiday everything except emergency related is close.
Let we enjoy more quite and relax on sunday :)

[sandyd]

a brand new cellphone...
since i somehow lost mine during my toronto -> L.A. trek.............

[PurposeOfReason]

Vinyl. Or some really really nice bookshelf speakers but mine are fine. Next time I upgrade audio it's going to be upwards of $1000 on just the speakers.

[zenlunatic]

Leatherman Juice S2 and Mini 9 RAM, if anyone asks.

Usually if I want something I just buy it myself. Losing 60 pounds would rock.

[Cam42]

An external hard drive, or a Wacom tablet.

[Tipped OuT]

I want a new laptop with a dual core CPU, nVidia graphics, and 2 GB's of RAM.

Please, someone help me! LOL

This, except floorstanding. There's a small place up at Marion with an excellent rep, incredible prices and they do custom jobs. I'm going to see about getting a custom pair of 3-way floorstanding speakers with a reasonably low crossover and optimised for entry-level (read: affordable) receivers. All their stock designs are unfortunately designed for high-end amplifiers (150-180 watt, 8ohm).

On the shopping list for others so far is:
- Decent micro/midi hi-fi for parents.
- 'New Moon boardgame' (what she asked for, eldest niece is a little odd).
- PS2 games for nephew.
- Tinkerbell DVDs/merchandise/whatever no one else is getting her for younger niece.
- ...think I've already got something for youngest niece. Now comes the task of locating it.

[PurposeOfReason]

Oh I'd kill for some floorstanding but I'd need space first. Of course, by the time I get new speakers I should have a new place so we'll see.

Depends on what effect you are trying to achieve as well.True...and in the case of film Photography it really comes down to the Photographers ability to properly develop prints in the darkroom.

[Isengrin]

A Nintendo64... no, seriously, I need a car for collegue (my neighbour has a Cavalier '93 I rally want. Curse you, neighbour!).

[The Real Dave]

A SATAII RAID Card, some cables, and a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 :D

[aparkes]

World Peace, No credit card compaines. No world Debt. I could go on and on.

I haven't even thought about it.. I've been racking my brains for presents for other people.. what do I want.. eh... I dunno... I have a job so when I want something I buy it.. and I don't often want things so I've a lot of savings.

All I really want is to see my parents for the first time in a year, and I'll get that so :)

I use the r3610 model as my main desktop. It's a wonderful machine, you'll be very pleased with it.

As I can tell the major difference is that mine came with 4gb of ram rather than 2 but that isn't likely to make a difference.

[gnomeuser]

What do I want for Christmas.. I wouldn't say no to a good book or a board game but most of all I would like to spend the vacation with my fiancée who is still separated from me by half a world.

Thank you. Finally, someone concerned about what to give instead of get.

Get a PS3. Little Big Planet alone is enough of a reason to get one, let alone the Blu-ray and everything else.


I want a Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT. And a 4GB memory kit. And a new SATA hard drive. And Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. And The Orange Box. And this. And that.

I'm still a kid with a lot of family, so I guess I'm just spoiled. :P

On the shopping list for others so far is:
- Decent micro/midi hi-fi for parents. - Done; Panasonic SC-PM54.
- 'New Moon boardgame' (what she asked for, eldest niece is a little odd). - Not done but is apparently available locally.
- PS2 games for nephew. - Done; God of War seems appropriately boyish.
- Tinkerbell DVDs/merchandise/whatever no one else is getting her for younger niece. - Done.
- ...think I've already got something for youngest niece. Now comes the task of locating it. - Done; turns out it was a bunch of books.
Also know what to get my sister; portable HDD - not done.

Christ, shopping kills me. Probably shouldn't have loaded up on gumbo, ribettes, shrimp and Buffalo wings beforehand.

Also found something for my xmas wishlist: Ginetta G4 reproduction (http://www.dareuk.com/g4.php). Probably just wishful thinking.

[Squonk07]

Oh, come on. Six pages and nobody has said it yet?

:-\" "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth..."

Seriously, my trusty but long in the tooth Toshiba Satellite finally got too much to manage with its constant and random power failures (caused by a worn out power pin). So I replaced it with this (http://ryderduncan.com/rydertech/2009/12/01/review-asus-eee-pc-1101hab-seashell-netbook/) and this (http://ryderduncan.com/rydertech/2009/12/02/review-hp-pavilion-dv6-1355dx-15-6-notebook/) (reviews complete with notes about how well Ubuntu works on each). Christmas came early for me, though it was more a work/school-related tool than an outright present.

Oh, who am I kidding? I love computers! (Except for when I hate computers.)

Ha... a Ginetta... awesome. I would love to get my hands on any TVR. Especially a speed 6 like the one in Swordfish. All I really want for x-mas is happy people all around me. None of the bullpucky of life. Just good people, good food, and good times.

Sansa Fuze 8GB...

Just bought an 8GB sansa view off of ebay :) I lost my ipod, so I had to replace it with something.

[t0p]

In my personal fantasy world, I'd like to get a Leica M9 (http://www.acecameras.co.uk/asp/web/recorprod/1/product/15185/cat/1556/ph/cat/keywords/recor/1/SearchFor/PT_ID/1/product.asp) and a Motorola Droid (http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/motorola-droid-set-for-december-7-uk-launch-1831993.html). But I'm not going to get either of those. So I'll probably buy myself a printer. Or maybe something like this (http://www.johnlewis.com/230723475/Product.aspx?source=14798).


Mine arrives tomorow. Its this. (http://yoyogoesgreen.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/0407_yashica_mat_124g.jpg)

I love those old film TLRs. But if you want a medium-format camera, how about one of these?

http://1.2.3.12/bmi/a.img-dpreview.com/news/0503/pentax_645D-001.jpg

Of course, the Pentax 645 Digital is little more than vaporware (http://www.neutralday.com/rumor-pentax-bringing-back-645-digital-medium-format-camera-but/). But Pentax regularly claim (http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/PMA_Pentax_revives_medium_format_digital_camera_pl an_update_news_278069.html) that they're going to actually start selling the beast. I'll certainly ask Santa to keep an eye out for one.
